From a total of 235 films entered, 42 films received a nomination and Conclave leads with 12 nominations followed by Emilia Pérez with 11 and The Brutalist with 9. Not a milestone was achieved (again) as only 12 of the nominated films are directed by women.

Fourteen out of the 24 nominees in the performance categories have received their firs BAFTA film nomination,including Kieran Culkin, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Demi Moore, Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong among others. Also, two former EE Rising Stars are nominated: Cynthia Erivo (2019), and Timothée Chalamet (2018).

In the Best Director category, three of the six are first-time Director nominees (and nominees for Original Screenplay): Sean Baker for Anora (who has the most nominations this year, with five), Brady Corbet for The Brutalist and Coralie Fargeat for The Substance.

The nominees for the EE Rising Star Award were announced on 7 January as Marisa Abela, Jharrel Jerome, David Jonsson, Mikey Madison, and Nabhaan Rizwan. It is the only award voted for by the British public and it is presented annually to a performer who has demonstrated exceptional talent early in their careers. If you wish to vote go here.
