“There’s a lot of variety, but also a lot of first time nominees,” BAFTA chair Sara Putt previously told Rolling Stone about the 2025 BAFTA nominations. “Out of the 24 performance nominees, 14 of them are first time nominees, including global stars like Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez. They are huge stars in their own right, but never been BAFTA nominated before. That’s really exciting.”
Continued Putt, “In the Leading Actress category, whoever wins will be a first time BAFTA recipient. None of the nominees have actually won a BAFTA before. In Leading Actor, you’ve got a fantastic array of talent and you’ve got Hugh Grant there, who last won forFour Weddings and a Funeral.”
