She really has been picking up all the awards for Judy, love her mention of Jessie Buckley who also starred in Judy and a fellow nominee for Wild Rose. I am a big Renée Zellweger fan!

Another award for Joaquin Phoenix for his outstanding performance in Joker. Very strange speech … In terms of timing for talking about this issue.

BAFTA Rising Star Award: A History
2020 is the 15th anniversary of the BAFTA having the Rising Star Award which is voted for by the public. Starting in 2006 known as the Orange Rising Star Award and then since 2013 the EE Rising Star Award, this is due to sponsorship and pretty much helps the award with publicity and getting the public involved in the voting for the winner.

Over the years as I have become more and more obsessed with films I know more about the nominees which in all honesty makes me feel very special and at times very geeky. Which I personally love and am very proud of, I felt coming up to the 15th year it was very important to take a look back at not only the winners from each year but the other nominees as well. The list is very impressive and it feels as though someone at BAFTA can certainly pick out rising stars in the best possible way, the nominees are chosen regardless of gender, nationality and whether they have made a breakthrough in television, film or both.
