Happy Birthday, Jude Law!

Today, we're celebrating the 39th birthday of the two-time Academy Award-nominated actor, Jude Law. Jude made his debut in a feature-length theatrical release in 1994's Shopping, but he didn't make a legitimate splash on the Hollywood scene until his supporting role in 1997's Gattaca. He nabbed his first Oscar nomination for his supporting role in The Talented Mr. Ripley before continuing to appear in high-profile films like 2001's Enemy at the Gates and 2002's Road to Perdition. He scored his second Oscar nomination for his leading role in 2003's Cold Mountain. Since then, Law has continued to stay in the spotlight, starring in films like 2004's Closer and The Aviator, as well as 2009's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Sherlock Holmes. Most recently, audiences have seen Jude Law in 2011's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and 2011's Hugo, and they'll next be able to see him in the 2012 film, Anna Karenina. So, for his birthday, I've listed my five favorite Jude Law performances. I hope you enjoy the videos. Once again, happy birthday, Jude Law!
