The nominations for the 2025 Bafta awards will be announced today (15 January) at 12pm with major titles like Emilia Perez and The Brutalist expected to be amongst the films with the most nominations.
All the contenders will be announced by Mia McKenna Bruce and Will Sharpe at Bafta’s headquarters on Wednesday and will be live streamed on YouTube.
This year’s awards season has been one of the most unpredictable in recent memory with no clear front runner in numerous categories. Emilia Perez, despite being shunned by critics and audiences alike has become an unlikely hit with voters and won four gongs at the Golden Globes.
The Brutalist also impressed at the Golden Globes, winning three awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Adrien Brody and Best Director for Brady Corbet.
Anora, Conclave, Wicked, The Substance and A Complete Unknown have also been tipped to be recognised for top prizes by Bafta.
Elsewhere, three Industry stars, including Marisa Abela, are among the British actors nominated for the Bafta 2025 Rising Star award.
Abela’s nod comes after playing Amy Winehouse in Back to Black while her former co-star, David Jonsson, has also been recognised following a role in blockbuster Alien: Romulus.
Nabhaan Rizwan, who had a brief role in the first season of the HBO hit, which airs on the BBC in the UK, arrives after his leading role in Naqqash Khalid’s psychological drama In Camera.
Warwick Davis will also be awarded the Bafta Fellowship for his outstanding contribution to film and TV and for championing the voices of people living with dwarfism.
