Lashana Lynch, who made history as the first black female 007 in No Time to Die, is one of five nominees for this year’s Bafta rising star award.
The British actor has been shortlisted alongside Kodi Smit-McPhee, Millicent Simmonds, Ariana DeBose and Harris Dickinson for the only Bafta voted for by the British public.
The list is completed by British actor Dickinson, 25, who stars in Matthew Vaughn’s The King’s Man.
Meanwhile, Australian actor Smit-McPhee, 25, has been called “the secret weapon” in Jane Campion’s trailblazing The Power of the Dog.
