Many roles and Oscar chances
Law celebrated his international breakthrough in 1999 with the thriller "The Talented Mr. Ripley". He was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role. He had a chance of winning an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 2004 with the film "On the Way to Cold Mountain". He has appeared in films such as "Sherlock Holmes", "Fantastic Beasts", "Hugo", "Contagion", "Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Captain Marvel". Most recently, he played Captain Hook in "Peter Pan & Wendy" and King Henry VIII in "Firebrand".
Prominent candidates for 2025
In recent months, director Tim Burton, actor Ewan McGregor and actress Kerry Washington, among others, have been celebrated with a star plaque. The award organizers have already announced prominent names for 2025. Among the three dozen chosen are Jane Fonda, Colin Farrell, Keith Urban and, posthumously, Prince.
The "Walk of Fame" with almost 2800 stars has been honoring achievements in show business since 1960. The sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard, into which the star-shaped plaques are embedded, runs right through the center of Hollywood.
