David Tennant returns to host the awards once again this year, with the Doctor Who star set to bring his warm and witty energy back to Royal Albert Hall for a second year running.

It's another line-up of stellar releases, with Conclave leading the way in the nominations. Directed by Edward Berger, the papal thriller is a frontrunner at this year's BAFTAs, with a whopping total of 12 nods.

Following closely behind is Emilia Pérez, which has been nominated a total of 11 times, for categories including Best Director, Best Film and Best Actress with trans lead Karla Sofía Gascón making history with her recognition.

Other major stars gracing the acting categories include Demi Moore, Kieran Culkin and Cynthia Erivo, who are all up for the coveted awards, as well as Ralph Fiennes, Hugh Grant and Selena Gomez.

But, as is often the case on the awards circuit, there have been some surprise omissions, including Daniel Craig, who had been tipped for an acting nomination for his turn in Luca Guadagnino's Queer.

The BAFTA Film Awards shortlist follows on from the previously announced EE Rising Star Award nominations, which were revealed earlier this month.

Industry stars David Jonsson, Marisa Abela and Nabhaan Rizwan have all been nominated, alongside Mikey Madison (Anora) and Jharrel Jerome (Unstoppable).

But which stars and films are up for a BAFTA in 2025? Read on for a full list of the actors, creatives and films that have been nominated for a BAFTA Film Award this year.
