The winner, voted by the public, will be announced at the film ceremony next month. Back to Black’s Marisa Abela and Anora star Mikey Madison are among the actors nominated for the Bafta 2025 Rising star Award. Alien: Romulus’s David Jonsson, When They See Us alum Jharrel Jerome and In Camera star Nabhaan Rizwan round out the list for the public-voted prize, which was announced on Tuesday (7 January).
Abela’s nomination follows her portrayal of Amy Winehouse in the Back to Black biopic, also known for her roles in the BBC Two and HBO series Industry and the Sky One series COBRA. The 28-year-old English actor said she is “deeply honoured to be recognised by BAFTA and EE with a Rising Star nomination and just as grateful to be alongside this year’s other incredibly talented nominees”.
Madison, who recently received a Golden Globe nomination for her leading role in Sean Baker’s Anora, gained recognition for her performance in the FX comedy series Better Things, before garnering a role in the American slasher film Scream in 2023. Jerome, who is best known for his portrayal of Korey Wise in Ava DuVernay’s Netflix miniseries When They See Us, has been nominated following his portrayal of champion wrestler Anthony Robles, born with one leg, in forthcoming drama Unstoppable. He stars in the film alongside Jennifer Lopez.
