Ahead of its glittering awards ceremony in February, BAFTA today announced the shortlist of exciting talent that makes up its Rising Stars category this year.
The award picks out the actors who have, as the BAFTAs put it, "demonstrated exceptional talent and ambition and begun to capture the imagination of the British public". Previous winners include Emma Mackey, Micheal Ward, Lashana Lynch, Daniel Kaluuya, Tom Holland, John Boyega and Eva Green.
