Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio top pre- Oscar awards beauty poll

And the Oscar for best looking actor goes to... Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio top pre-awards beauty poll

  • Leonardo DiCaprio took 40.1 per cent of the vote to top the poll
  • Runner up was Bradley Cooper who just missed out on 33.9 per cent
  • Jennifer Lawrence was the hands down winner in the women's category
  • American Hustle and Man of Steel star Amy Adams took second place
If it were all down to looks, Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio would be the clear winners at the Oscars on Sunday.
The handsome pair topped a beauty poll of more than 1,000 Britons to find out who win in the looks department.
Lawrence's American Hustle co-star Amy Adams took second place, while a third member of the cast, Bradley Cooper, came runner up to Leonardo DiCaprio in the men's poll.

All four have been nominated for awards in tonight's Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles, with Lawrence in particular, hotly tipped to take the Best Supporting Actress prize.
    Other actresses to feature close to the top of the women's poll included Gravity star Sandra Bullock, in third place on 6.5 per cent, and Cate Blanchett and Lupita Nyong'o who got joint fourth with 4.8 per cent of the vote.
    Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding her half-sister's suicide three weeks ago, Julia Roberts came next with 1.7 per cent.
    The men's vote saw Wolf Of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio triumph over Bradley Cooper and knock Irish star Michael Fassbender down into third place.

    Most Beautiful Actress

    Jennifer Lawrence 64.5 per cent
    Amy Adams 17.7 per cent
    Sandra Bullock 6.5 per cent
    Cate Blanchett 4.8 per cent
    Lupita Nyong'o 4.8 per cent
    Julia Roberts 1.7 per cent

    Most Handsome Actor

    Leonardo DiCaprio 40.1 per cent
    Bradley Cooper 33.9 per cent
    Michael Fassbender 7.3 per cent
    Matthew McConaughey 6.8 per cent
    Jared Leto 5.7 per cent
    Christian Bale 4.5 per cent
    The critically acclaimed Best Actor nominee is yet to win an Oscar but the 39-year-old could, for the first time, take home the big prize at tonight's awards ceremony.
    But he'll have stiff competition from American Hustle's Bradley Cooper and Michael Fassbender's 12 Years A Slave co-star, Chiwetel Ejiofor.
    The two stars of the Dallas Buyers Club, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, came fourth and fifth in the looks poll, although both are likely to fare better tonight.

    The findings are the results of an online poll of 1,100 men and women by online beauty retailer Escentual.com, and focused on the stars nominated for an award at this year's Oscars.
    A spokesperson said: 'So much of the Oscars this Sunday is going to be about the glamour and beauty on the red carpet and so we thought we would hold our own Oscars beauty awards before the night.
    'Jennifer Lawrence was unanimously chosen by both men and women as the run-away winner for most beautiful actress, but it was a bit more of an open field for the men.
    'Nevertheless, Leonardo DiCaprio was a clear head in front of Bradley Cooper for the prize of being the UK's choice for Most Handsome Male.'
