They're battling it out in the "Best Actor" category at the Academy Awards on Sunday, but Hugh Jackman has beaten Bradley Cooper in a less competitive race: sexiest facial hair.

In the battle of the beards, the "Les Miserables" star has bested the "Silver Linings Playbook" stud, according to a new survey conducted by British hair transplant center, Crown Clinic in Manchester.

"Hugh Jackman looks great whatever kind of facial hair he has - stubble, a moustache or a beard," Crown Clinic surgeon and hair loss expert Dr. Asim Shahmalak told WENN.

Rounding out the top five on the list are David Beckham, George Clooney and Ben Affleck.

Stars with the least sexy stubble include Brad Pitt, Joaquin Phoenix and Jim Carrey.
