Despite having already been in About A Boy and Skins, 20-year-old British actor Nicholas Hoult has just been nominated for a Bafta rising star award for his role in A Single Man. He's one of five nominees which include Bella from Twilight, Kristen Stewart, and Carey Mulligan, one of Newsbeat's top tips for 2010. He's also due to appear in big budget movie Clash Of The Titans but says the Bafta nomination was a big surprise.
