Mikey Madison, Marisa Abela and David Jonsson Among BAFTA Rising Star Award Nominees

The British Academy has unveiled the nominees for its 2025 Rising Star award for up-and-coming onscreen talent, the only honor among the BAFTA film awards to be voted on by the public.
Announced more than a week before the full lineup of BAFTA nominations is revealed on Jan. 15, the latest lineup of Rising Star nominees — the award’s 20th edition — includes some of the most talked-about names from the last year in film.
