Sienna Miller and Shia LaBeouf are among the five nominees for the Orange Rising Star Award at this year's BAFTAs.The Hollywood stars are joined by Ellen Page, Sam Riley and Tang Wei on the shortlist for the prize which recognizes actors and actresses who made a breakthrough in the last year.Announcing the shortlist on Tuesday (08.01.08), last year's winner Eva Green said: "This year's five nominees are all actors who have really stood out in their work and I'm sure we'll see a lot more of them throughout 2008. "I was part of the panel selecting them and can honestly say they would all be worthy winners."The shortlist was drawn up by a jury chaired by producer Duncan Kenworthy which included respected figures in the film industry such as 'Casino Royale' star Eva, 'Shakespeare In Love' director John Madden and 'Love Actually' producer Duncan Kentworthy.LaBeouf starred in last year's hugely successful 'Transformers', which took a massive $706 million at the box office worldwide, while Miller was widely praised for her performances in both 'Interview', and Disney fantasy 'Enchanted'.They face stiff competition from Ellen Page, who has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance as a pregnant teenager in 'Juno', and Sam Riley, whose performance as late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis in 'Control' has already seen him win several awards.

Sienna always twists a really smug smile to the cameras and her neck is so short, she looks as if she is straining her neck to look relaxed. The facial expression does not go with her stiff body language.

Did she have to sit on the jury's laps all night to get a nomination?
