One of my favorite categories is the Bafta by Rising Star. Although I must admit that I don't really like that the winner is chosen by popular vote.
It must be remembered that more than rewarding a specific performance, this Bafta recognizes those actors and actresses who promise to have an outstanding career ahead of them.
In case anyone is interested here are the winners with the nominees in this category in previous years (it was awarded for the first time in 2006)
2006: James McAvoy
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Gael García Bernal, Rachel McAdams, Michelle Williams
2007: Eva Green
Emily Blunt, Naomie Harris, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw
2008: Shia LaBeouf
Sienna Miller, Elliot Page, Sam Riley, Tang Wei
2009: Noel Clarke
Michael Cera, Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Hall, Toby Kebbell
2010: Kristen Stewart
Jesse Eisenberg, Nicholas Hoult, Carey Mulligan, Tahar Rahim
2011: Tom Hardy
Gemma Arterton, Andrew Garfield, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Stone
2012: Adam Deacon
Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Chris O'Dowd, Eddie Redmayne
2013: Juno Temple
Elizabeth Olsen, Andrea Riseborough, Suraj Sharma, Alicia Vikander
2014: Will Poulter
Dane DeHaan, George MacKay, Lupita Nyong'o, Léa Seydoux
2015: Jack O'Connell
Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Margot Robbie, Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley
2016: John Boyega
Taron Egerton, Dakota Johnson, Brie Larson, Bel Powley
2017: Tom Holland
Laia Costa, Lucas Hedges,Ruth Negga, Anya Taylor-Joy
2018: Daniel Kaluuya
Timothée Chalamet, Josh O'Connor, Florence Pugh, Tessa Thompson
2019: Letitia Wright
Jessie Buckley, Cynthia Erivo, Barry Keoghan, Lakeith Stanfield
2020: Micheal Ward
Awkwafina, Jack Lowden, Kaitlyn Dever, Kelvin Harrison Jr.
Who do you think will be the nominees this year 2021? What do you think of those who have won to date? Who do you think has been the most successful? What do you think of those who have been nominated? Who surprises you have not been nominated?

I expect Kosar Ali and/or Bukky Bakray from Rocks. Maybe Helena Zengel. Maybe Maria Bakalova. Jonathan Majors maybe?

If I had to bet: Maria Bakalova Daisy Edgar-Jones Sidney Flanagan Paul Mescal Alan Kim They aren't going to have a such a white line-up. Look at the last 3 years. This award in recent years has allowed them to nominate minority talent that their main membership often ignore, and also to award them. Rocks is a big thing in the UK independent film scene. One or more of the girls in that will be there. I doubt Mescal or Edgar-Jones will be there. They had their major breakthroughs on a TV show in Normal People. This award really concentrates on film breakthroughs. |

But Normal People was a big deal and they do fit the usual template of people who crop up on these lists. |

Like I said, they've never nominated anyone in this category for having a big year on a TV show. BAFTA literally have a seperate awards ceremony for TV. Mescal and Edgar-Jones aren't showing up here. |

Morfydd Clark, the lead actress from Saint Maud is also a possibility.

I doubt she counts as a 'rising star' at this point. |

Can't say who will get nominated, but the rising stars for me this year were:
Andrew Rannells
Wunmi Mosaku
Kingsley Ben-Adir
Eli Goree
Shaun Parkes
Malachi Kirby
Radha Blank
Sierra McCormick
Swankie
I know Rannells was in Book of Mormon, but I didn't know that until I saw him starring in two major movies this year.

Anya Taylor-Joy was already nominated in this category in 2017. Don't forget The Witch. |

Looking back, this award is pretty damn good. Almost every single nominee went on to have a huge career.

Who the fuck is Adam Deacon?? It's a very good question. When you look at who the other nominees were (Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Chris O'Dowd and Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne) you get confused and wonder how it happened. Similar when you see that Noel Clarke won over Michael Fassbender. Now from what I see Adam Deacon has had a lot of problems after winning the Bafta. He has had health problems, violence, his friendship with another Bafta winner in this category Noel Clarke ended to the degree that he cannot get close to Noel Clarke by court order. He was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. And this year that passed due to the quarantine, he was alone in his apartment and had several nervous breakdowns and apparently in the middle of those crises he made several posts on his Instagram that led to his page being blocked. |

All Bafta winners for Rising Star. Gotta love Stewart presenting to McAvoy all the way back in '06. |

Morfydd Clark - Saint Maud  Not only the "Rising Star" of the year - which is damning with faint praise anyway - so let's go hysterical: The best female performance in this category EVER (fight me!).........maybe irrespective of gender (I'm still standing here - now what!  ) the female performance of the year, maybe the best overall performance of the year - period - irrespective of gender again (!) .............in the years best movie (oh that's true, haters, it's DAMN true).........which she happens to carry on her fncking back like she's Jesus Carrying The Cross on Calvary. Give her all the awards - all of them ....all of them pacinoyes?.....Amen.  |

I haven't seen Rocks yet and I've only seen Conrad Khan in two things, neither of which he made an impression on me, but the other three are fine picks.

Well, got two out of the 5 right (Clark and Bakray). I thought Ben-Adir was a possibility, so should have mentioned him, but One Night In Miami seemed like the kind of thing they'd not bother watching at BAFTA. Khan was not on my radar at all, but Dirisu should have been for His House.
As I said though, no one is being nominated here for TV, and it is a very ethnic line-up as expected, usually to counterbalance how their main membership often nominates (though since there are minority frontrunners in acting categories this year like Boseman, that shouldn't be an issue this year).
Did expect a more international line-up or a token American at least (which is why I thought Jonathan Majors might happen). All-British nominees doesn't usually happen.
