Young talents
The list of nominees for the “Rising Star” category, created in 2006, was unveiled in London on Monday by Tom Hiddleston. Awkwafina for The Farewell (role for which she has just obtained a Golden Globes), Kaitlyn Dever for Booksmart , Kelvin Harrison Jr. for Waves , Micheal Ward for Blue Story , and Jack Lowden for A family in the ring compete for this prize which rewards emerging talents.
The “Rising Star” prize is the only prize determined by public votes. James McAvoy won the first prize in 2006, and has since been followed by actors and actresses such as Kristen Stewart, Tom Hardy, John Boyega or Letitia Wright.
Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, is also to receive the BAFTA Fellowship, one of the most prestigious awards of the British Academy, which highlights the success of a personality in several forms of cinema.
Ceremony presented by Graham Norton
The full list of nominees is available on the website of the British Academy. It was announced on Tuesday by Asa Butterfield, the main actor of the Sex Education series and Ella Balinska, seen in Charlie's Angels . The 73rd BAFTA Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday February 2 and will be presented by comedian and broadcaster Graham Norton, from the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The award ceremony season has been in full swing for the past few weeks.

The voters of the Oscars have until Tuesday to designate their favorites in the different categories; the list of nominees will be revealed on January 13 in Los Angeles.
