The nominees are Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Hall, Michael Cera, Noel Clarke and Toby Kebbell.
A jury, led by producer and chair of BAFTA, David Parfitt, and industry figures including casting director Fiona Weir, and actors James McAvoy and Kelly Macdonald, selected the five nominees from a long list of recommendations put forward by the film industry and BAFTA members. The Rising Star nominees must have featured in a film that has been entered for this year’s British Academy Film Awards.
Rebecca Hall is nominated twice on the BAFTA longlists, for her lead role in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and supporting turn in “Frost/Nixon,” which were revealed earlier this week.
Michael Fassbender is longlisted for his arresting portrayal of Irish Republican prisoner Bobby Sands in “Hunger” which won the Camera d’Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival 2008 for Best First Feature.
Doctor Who’s Noel Clarke (33) who will play in “Heartless” (2009) and “Doghouse” (2009), “RocknRolla” star Toby Kebbell (26) played in “Dead Man’s Shoes” (2004) and “Control” (2007) has new role in “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” (2010) and Michael Cera (20) from “Juno,” “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” and “Extreme Movie” who will star in “Paper Heart,” “Youth in Revolt,” “The Year One,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and “Arrested Development” in 2009, complete the shortlist.
This is the fourth edition of the prize, which was created in honor of the late casting director Mary Selway.
The winner, who will be decided by a public vote via Orange’s website or via text, will be unveiled at the BAFTA awards ceremony, which takes place on February 8, 2009.
Previous winners are Shia LaBeouf, Eva Green and James McAvoy.
“Vicky Cristina Barcelona” Soundtrack
The song “Barcelona” by the band Giulia y los Tellarini, like Woody Allen’s film, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” explores chance meetings and subsequent love affairs, including one with the Spanish city itself.
“I equate Barcelona with love,” says Giulia Tellarini, singer for Spanish indie band, whose song is featured in the film, which Woody Allen at the Cannes Film Festival called “perfect.” “Barcelona” can be heard in the trailer for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”
Giulia y los Tellarini’s first album, “Eusebio,” was released on iTunes in late May. Its music came to Allen’s attention last year during filming, when the girlfriend of one of the band members left a CD with some of the group’s songs on it at the director’s Barcelona hotel, the fashionable Hotel D’Arts.
“I didn’t even know about it,” recalls Tellarini, who was dubious when she checked the band’s MySpace mail one day and found a message from someone in Allen’s camp who was urgently trying to reach them. “I thought it was a joke. I didn’t think that something like this could happen.”
“Our music is difficult to classify. It’s got loads of influences,” says Tellarini, noting her preference for traditional forms of popular song such as the French chanson, as well as tango, jazz and Latin boleros. “I think one of the main things about us is that we sing in different languages. We try and get inspired by the atmospheres of different countries.”
“Barcelona,” sung in Spanish, is a seductively bouncy tune with punchy brass and dark edges intoned by Tellarini’s whispery vocals. The song reflects Guilia’s on-and-off relationship with the city, written at a time when she was deciding whether to stay in Barcelona with Mazzoni or return to Paris.
In addition to “Barcelona,” the soundtrack includes Giulia y Los Tellarinis’ song “La Ley del Retiro.”

“We hope that people will appreciate the music, not just the buzz it’s getting because it’s part of the film,” Tellerani says.
“Vicky Cristina Barcelona” will be released September 5 and stars Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Rebecca Hall and Javier Bardem.
