Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore Nominated for BAFTA Film Awards

Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Demi Moore are among the nominees for the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards, set for Feb. 16 in London. The awards ceremony will stream in the U.S. on BritBox.

The Best Film nominees include Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, and Emilia Pérez, while Emilia Pérez was also nominated for Film Not in the English language. Erivo was nominated for Leading Actress for her role in Wicked and Moore for The Substance alongside Mikey Madison for Anora, Saoirse Ronan for The Outrun, Karla Sofía Gascón for Emilia Pérez, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste for Hard Truths.

Chalamet earned a nod for Leading Actor for his performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown and Edward Norton was also nominated for Supporting Actor for co-starring as Pete Seeger. Additionally, James Mangold and Jay Cocks got a nod for Adapted Screenplay, although Mangold was snubbed from the Director category.

Other actors nominated in the Leading Actor category include The Brutalist‘s Adrian Brody, Sing Sing‘s Colman Domingo, Conclave‘s Ralph Fiennes, Heretic‘s Hugh Grant, and The Apprentice‘s Sebastian Stan. Emilia Pérez cast members Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña were recognized in the Supporting Actress category.

The nominations included a few surprises, including Jamie Lee Curtis, who was nominated for Supporting Actress for The Last Showgirl, and Denis Villeneuve, who earned a nod for Director for Dune: Part Two. Notably, today marks the first time many of the acting nominees have been up for a BAFTA Film Award.

“There’s a lot of variety, but also a lot of first time nominees,” Sara Putt, chair of BAFTA, tells Rolling Stone. “Out of the 24 performance nominees, 14 of them are first time nominees, including global stars like Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez. They are huge stars in their own right, but never been BAFTA nominated before. That’s really exciting. In the Leading Actress category, whoever wins will be a first time BAFTA recipient. None of the nominees have actually won a BAFTA before. In Leading Actor, you’ve got a fantastic array of talent and you’ve got Hugh Grant there, who last won for Four Weddings and a Funeral.”

Although the Oscars have delayed the announcement of their nominations due to the ongoing fires in Los Angeles, BAFTA decided to go ahead while keeping Hollywood in their thoughts.

“Our thoughts are with the community out there,” Putt says. “It’s absolutely devastating what’s occurred. BAFTA is actually quite a small and very tight-knit international organization and the team here at BAFTA have been in constant communication with the team in LA. First and foremost, we’re just concerned for people’s safety and making sure that everybody is okay in these terrible circumstances.”

The nominees for the EE Rising Star Award were previously announced and include Marisa Abela, Jharrel Jerome, David Jonsson, Mikey Madison, and Nabhaan Rizwan. The category is the only award voted for by the British public. Chalamet was nominated for the award in 2017, while Erivo got a nod in 2018.

The BAFTA Film Awards ceremony, hosted by David Tennant, will be held at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London. It will air on the BBC in the U.K. and on BritBox in North America. See the full list of nominees here.
