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. Ben-Adir was actually the first one to come to mind but then I thought, "Eh, he's probably too old" because they've been skewing so young. It's why I also ruled out Wunmi Mosaku and Sope Dirisu, who totally deserve BAFTA recognition (and in Mosaku's case, I think she might actually get a nod). I got too focused on the age bit.

I never saw age as a limiting factor. Cynthia Erivo, Tessa Thompson and Awkwafina have all been nominated the last few years in their 30's. A lot of breakthrough film actors happen to skew younger so most nominees will skew in that direction as well, but that doesn't stop them from recognising actors not in their teens or 20's (which is why I had Jonathan Majors as a possibility, and he is in his 30's)

I know they sort of stupidly focus this around on screen work (though Noel Clarke could stand as precedent) but between The Crown and now Promising Young Woman I think Emerald Fennell should have absolutely been on this list.

I think Emerald Fennell is going to be nominated for Best Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
