Rob’s co-star,Christoph Waltz who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Inglorious Basterds earlier this year, has heaped high praise on his young co-star.
According to MTV, when asked where he keeps the iconic statue, Christopher replied: “It’s in my house, but the way things are looking, I might have to hand it off to Rob next year!”
We won’t get to see Rob’s performance until April next year and the 24-year-old will have to wait until the following year for possible recognition.

Water for Elephants earns a Green Seal, for environmentally responsible filmmaking.
SunHerald Environmental Media Association awarded Fox Filmed Entertainment 12 EMA Green Seals at its 20th Annual Environmental Media Awards on October 16. The EMA Green Seal is given to films and television shows that promote sustainable production methods and highlights those in the entertainment industry that have made strides in incorporating such practices.
The Fox films that earned recognition for their commitment to environmentally responsible filmmaking are Love & Other Drugs, Water for Elephants, 127 Hours, Black Swan, The Big Year, Knight and Day, Marmaduke, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Descendants, Just Wright, Cedar Rapids, and Win Win.
Fox’s environmental efforts on its productions are part of a broader commitment by parent company News Corporation to reduce its impact on climate change and the environment. Productions follow Fox’s Green Guide guidelines to go “green” by reducing the use of energy and fuel; diverting as much waste as possible from landfills through reuse, recycling and donation; and tracking all carbon emissions. Fox expects to achieve net zero carbon emissions from its operations by the end of 2010, part of News Corp.'s company-wide carbon neutrality target.
On set, the studio enforced the use of energy-efficient lighting, curbed unnecessary waste and water consumption, banned disposable plastic water bottles, and dismantled sets for reuse or donation. Generators were equipped with biodiesel fuel or eliminated entirely by working with local energy providers to plug into the grid. Wherever possible, crews limited the use of private transportation by using public transportation or fuel-efficient vehicles.
