FILM INDUSTRY TALENT JOIN BAFTA EE RISING STAR AWARD JURY PANEL TO DECIDE THE 2023 NOMINEES

Stars from both sides of the silver screen attend a jury meeting at BAFTA headquarters to select the EE Rising Star Award shortlist ahead of the 2023 EE BAFTA Film Awards. Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) and BAFTA-nominated actor Joe Cole (Gangs of London and Peaky Blinders) joined actor and producer Jason Flemyng (Boiling Point and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), alongside a host of other industry experts, to select the EE Rising Star Award shortlist for the 2023 EE BAFTA Film Awards. Now in its eighteenth year, it is the only EE BAFTA Film Awards category to be voted for by the British public. Celebrating new and up-and-coming talent within the film industry, past recipients of the EE Rising Star Award have gone on to achieve some of cinema’s highest accolades and become household names. The prestigious list of previous winners includes James McAvoy, Eva Green, Juno Temple, Tom Hardy, Kristen Stewart, Jack O’Connell, Will Poulter, John Boyega, Tom Holland, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Micheal Ward, Bukky Bakray and last year’s winner Lashana Lynch. The EE Rising Star Award shortlist will be announced in January 2023, at which point public voting will open and be available to all UK residents at ee.co.uk/BAFTA
