Bafta nominations 2024 – live: What films are set to be announced for top prize?

At the Baftas, films that might not necessarily end up getting Oscar nominations excitingly receive nods. This is thanks to the two categories Outstanding British Film and Oustanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.

This year, such films could include Rye Lane, Femme, How to Have Sex and Scrapper.

One big question mark surrounds the awards chances for Past Lives, a film that quietly grew into something of a frontrunner last year, but has since been seemingly pushed to the bottom of the pack by other more brash releases.

Could writer-director Celine Song and lead stars Greta Lee and Teo Yoo get Bafta nominations today?

The only Baftas category to have been announced so far is the Rising Star award, nominees for which include Saltburn actor Jacob Elordi as well as The Bear star Ayo Edebiri, whose film credits include Theatre Camp and Bottoms.

Previous winners include Emma Mackey, Letitia Wright, Tom Holland and Daniel Kaluuya.

Find out who the other nominees are here:

Fresh from his return to the TARDIS in a series of Doctor Who specials, Scottish actor David Tennant will be gracing the stage at the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre to host the Baftas ceremony on Sunday 18 February.

He said he was “honoured” to accept the position, with Baftas chief executive Jane Millichip praising his “warmth, charm, and mischievous wit”.
