Chiwetel Ejiofor is looking more and more likely to win big at both the Oscars and the Golden Globes this Sunday. Playing the lead role of Solomon Northrup, a freed-man kidnapped and sent to the Deep South as a slave, Ejiofor's performance has catapulted him firmly onto the A-list. The film, 12 Years A Slave, has already been nominated for several Golden Globes and is likely to be nominated in the Oscars as well.
