There may be no shortage of British talent in Hollywood, but all eyes in Britain are now on Eddie Redmayne, the newcomer hoping to add an Oscar to the Golden Globe he has just won. The 33-year-old has been nominated in the best actor category for his role as theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything", the world's most famous living scientist crippled by an advanced form of motor neurone disease. Among his fellow Oscar nominees is his friend and fellow British thespian Benedict Cumberbatch, who also played a troubled genius, Alan Turing, in "The Imitation Game". Based on a memoir by Jane, played by fellow Oscar nominee Felicity Jones, it charts how their relationship changes as his health declines and his fame grows, until their marriage fell apart in the early 1990s.
