Top 10 Emerging Stars of 20112 of 10
Tom Hardy
No, it wasn't a dream -- Hardy, the breakout star of last year's Inception, continued to dazzle audiences into 2011 in two highly disparate films: the sober, gray-soaked adaptation of John Le Carre's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and the bloody, sweaty, muscular mixed-martial arts drama Warrior. But the role that got Hardy the most headlines this year was that of the evil Bane, the nemesis to Christian Bale's Batman in next year's The Dark Knight Rises.
