Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars won the BAFTA Rising Star Award in the past, and we finally know who’ll be competing for this prestigious honor in 2024. The list of nominees for the Rising Star Award is in, and it includes the likes of Jacob Elordi and Ayo Edebiri.
Edebiri was one of the busiest young talents in Hollywood this past year, starring in about a dozen projects, including films Theater Camp and Bottoms and the TV series The Bear, for which she just won her first Golden Globe.
Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi also had a busy 2023 and he’s fresh off starring in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla and Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn. The list of contenders for the Rising Star Award will also include Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton), Sophie Wilde (Talk to Me), and Mia McKenna-Bruce (How to Have S-x).
BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip said that “these remarkable individuals represent what BAFTA and the EE Rising Star Award stand for as the future of the film industry, embodying innovation, dedication, and a commitment to storytelling that captivates audiences worldwide.”
The British Academy Film Awards nomination will be unveiled on January 18, one month ahead of the award ceremony on February 18, hosted by David Tennant.
