Jude Law’s 10 Best Performances, From ‘A.I.’ to ‘The Holiday’


The Oscar nominee's other roles include "Vox Lux," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "Spy," "The Order," "The Nest," "The Young Pope" and "Road to Perdition".

Nancy Meyers’ “The Holiday” features Law at his very best in full movie star mode but also down-to-earth and relatable as Graham, a widowed father who hooks up with the woman vacationing in his sister’s house (an excellent Cameron Diaz). Law had resisted doing an all-out rom-com (the closest he came was “Alfie” in 2004), but after two Oscar nominations and some ambitious but flawed projects (“Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow,” “All the King’s Men”), the actor signed on for this unabashedlly frothy and romantic film.
