Spanish language film Emilia Perez is nominated for 11 awards, including a leading actress nomination for Spanish actress Karla Sofia Gascon, while American co-stars Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana will go head-to-head in the supporting actress category.
The French actress, who plays the daughter of a businessman in the post-Second World War film, also told PA: “Even though the scope of the film was very big, there were lots of very strong friendships and strong collaborations happening, so you’re kind of more free and less intimidated to dive in.”.
Up for best actress is US star Demi Moore – who wore a blue and white sparkly outfit – for body horror The Substance, Mikey Madison, who plays a sex worker in Anora who falls for the son of a Russian oligarch, and Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun – a film exploring mental health and addiction.
British actress Cynthia Erivo and US star Pamela Anderson both arrived on the red carpet wearing white outfits for the Bafta film awards.
Also arriving on the red carpet was British actor and The Brutalist star Joe Alwyn, Happy Valley actor James Norton, and Wallace And Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl co-directors Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, who brought along figurine versions of their characters to the event.
