But now he's on his way to becoming what they call a "breakout star" and an "overnight success," as not only is he the title character of Disney's
Academy Award nominations have eluded Joe Wright so far, but not for lack of trying. The young British director already has the critically acclaimed "Pride and Prejudice" and "Atonement" under his belt, and "The Soloist" as a possible contender for next year's award season.
