Keira Knightley has said she would be delighted with an Oscar nomination - but that more experienced actresses have a better chance.

Keira Knightley has said she would be delighted with an Oscar nomination - but that more experienced actresses have a better chance.

Knightley has been winning critical acclaim for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride And Prejudice.

The 20-year-old beauty proved her critics wrong with a critically-acclaimed performance in the hit film adaptation of the Jane Austen classic romance, which spent three weeks at the top of the UK box office.

She says: "I can't deny that it would be lovely to be nominated, but I've just started in this business and there will be other, better-known actresses coming in films that haven't opened yet."
