Miller amongst BAFTA rising star nominees

Sienna Miller has been nominated for this year's Rising Star award at the BAFTAs.
The actress, who recently appeared in 'Stardust', is amongst two British stars nominated for the award, which is voted for by the public. Sam Riley, the star of Joy Division biopic 'Control', is the other British nominee.
They're joined in the category by Ellen Page, Shia LaBeouf and 'Lust, Caution' star Tang Wei for the prize.
The category was established in honour of late casting director Mary Selway, who died in 2004, with Scottish actor James McAvoy picking up the inaugural award.
'Casino Royale' star Eva Green, who won the award last year, announced the nominees saying: "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."
The winner will be announced at the official BAFTA ceremony on 10 February.
