FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The fifth annual Popcorn N Roses Rising Stars list will be announced on a special edition of the website's popular film podcast Subject:CINEMA, this Sunday, July 4 at 6 PM Eastern.
The format has changed this year. Rather than each selecting their own list, Subject:CINEMA hosts TC Kirkham and Kim Brown have pooled their resources to come up with one.
Also, for the first time, the list will be ranked from #10-1 in both male and female categories. Previously they have named only a #1 Rising Star with the rest unranked. Past #1 male and female winners have been Michael Angarano and Keira Knightly (2006), John Robinson and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (2007), Anton Yelchin and Olivia Thirlby (2008), and Michael Welch and Kristen Stewart (2009).
The Popcorn N Roses Rising Stars list has had an impressive track record with over 70% of the list honorees jumping into the Hollywood spotlight within the following 12 months.
