The readers of Empire clearly have excellent taste!

Benedict Cumberbatch was voted the sexiest male movie star in the world, according to the results of a British magazine reader poll released today, while Emma Watson took the honors of being the sexiest female movie star on earth.

Other top hotties in the guys' category included Tom Hiddleston, Henry Cavill, Ryan Gosling (who only came in at No. 4?!), Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Hemsworth

As for the sexiest ladies? Scarlett Johansson came in at No. 2, followed by Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart, Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone and Mila Kunis.

"It's a great result for British stars, but what's clear is that it's less important to have lots of casual fans and better to have a dedicated hard-core," said James Dyer, editor of Empireonline.com. "The Cumberbabes, Hiddlestoners, Twi-hards and Cavilliers all made their opinions heard! This list also reflects the continuing popularity of superhero movies: six of the top ten men have played superheroes and five of the top ten women have appeared in comic-book movies."
