Ah, the “Star of Tomorrow” award! It’s like the astrology of Hollywood— some winners twinkle like supernovas, while others fizzle out faster than a meteor shower! Since 1978, this coveted prize has celebrated emerging talent, showering a bit of celestial luck over actors who were deemed to light up the silver screen. But let’s be real: not every star rises to global fame—some leave us scratching our heads, wondering, “Who?!”
As we take a whimsical journey through the actors who’ve donned this honor, we’ll spot some familiar names alongside those who have faded into the cosmic void of obscurity. It’s like checking your horoscope—sometimes it aligns perfectly, and other times, it’s just a bunch of starry nonsense! So, buckle up, because amidst laughter and nostalgia, we’re about to reflect on a few meteoric moments from the past. Ready? Let’s dive in! If you want to explore this stellar saga further, LEARN MORE.
One prize they’ve awarded since 1978 is the “Star of Tomorrow.” Below are all the actors who have ever won it, some of whom went on to become actual movie stars and others who’ll make you go, “Who?!”
Note: Some years, they skipped the award, while others, they only gave it to one person instead of a “male” and “female” star. Also, sometimes they awarded a similarly titled award instead, like Rising Star. If so, I’ve included those.
Note 2: The photos featured here are of the actors at the convention until you reach 1989. Before 1989 the convention didn’t release photos, so I just used contemporary photos of the actors. OK! Let’s go!
