Determined to follow his horse into conflict, Albert enlists to serve in the war, embarking on a coming-of-age journey that sees him becoming acquainted with the harsh and oft-tragic realities of conflict in the process. Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography.<p> <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th><b>Name</b></th><th><b>Occupation</b></th><th><b>Birth</b></th><th>Death</b></th><th><b>Known for</b></th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/634/000274809/"><font size=-1>Benedict Cumberbatch</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>19-Jul-1976</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>BBC's <i>Sherlock Holmes</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/834/000161351/"><font size=-1>Liam Cunningham</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>2-Jun-1961</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Stranded</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/115/000346074/"><font size=-1>Tom Hiddleston</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>9-Feb-1981</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Thor</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/014/000346970/"><font size=-1>Eddie Marsan</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>23-Jun-1968</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Lestrade in the 2009 <i>Sherlock Holmes</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/896/000136488/"><font size=-1>Peter Mullan</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>2-Nov-1959</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>My Name Is Joe</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/137/000050984/"><font size=-1>David Thewlis</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>20-Mar-1963</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/827/000043698/"><font size=-1>Emily Watson</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>14-Jan-1967</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr> </nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Angela's Ashes</i></td> </tr> </table> <p><font size=+1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=red><b>CAST</b></font><p><table border=0><tr><td><a href="/people/827/000043698/">Emily Watson</a></td><td> ...
