Daniel Craig
Role: James Bond in "Skyfall"
This film image released by Columbia Pictures shows Daniel Craig as James Bond in the action adventure film, "Skyfall." Every year fashion offers up the good, the bad and the ugly. But what the industry is really built on _ and consumers respond to _ is buzz. Craig's wardrobe in "Skyfall" is impeccably tailored and quite tight. Unlike the James Bonds that came before him who all liked the traditional looser, longer cut of a Savile Row-style suit, Craig, whose wardrobe is created mostly by Tom Ford, takes his suits Euro style with tapered legs and shorter rises.

"The Master" also was chosen as best-picture runner-up. "Amour" star Emmanuelle Riva shared the best-actress honor in a tie with Jennifer Lawrence for the lost-soul romance "Silver Linings Playbook."
