The death of Heath Ledger comes as a shock to film fans around the world, and to those who had dealings with him in the industry. Ledger (28) had everything to live for.

That way, we reckon, we’re not boosting starlets and discriminating against actresses just when they’ve found a foothold and put together a solid body of work. Inevitably, the cut-off means we miss out on several important Read more

It says something about the movie biz that when it came to up-and-coming male actors we felt we had to raise the age range to 30 to get in the likes of Ryan Gosling, Ben Foster and James McAvoy. Initially we wondered if we might have to do the same this year for the girls. Some high profile names have fallen out of the 25 or younger bracket, among them Natalie... Read more
