\n\tThe BAFTA<\/a> Rising Star Award nominees are in, and Hollywood talents Chase Infiniti<\/a> and Miles Caton<\/a> are among the up-and-coming actors to watch.<\/p>\n

\n\tThree Brits line up alongside them: Robert Aramayo<\/a> for his lead performance in Kirk Jones\u2019 I Swear, a biographical drama about a Scot with Tourette\u2019s syndrome, Saltburn\u2018s Archie Madekwe<\/a>, who this year co-starred in Alex Russell\u2019s psychological thriller Lurker, and Posy Sterling, a British Independent Film Award winner for Daisy-May Hudson\u2019s Lollipop.<\/p>\n

\n\tInfiniti is, of course, the star of Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s political thriller One Battle After Another<\/a> \u2014\u00a0so far the major winner this awards season \u2014\u00a0and tipped for an Oscar nod for her performance as Willa. Caton has impressed the industry with his first film role in Ryan Coogler\u2019s slick vampire horror Sinners<\/a> opposite Michael B. Jordan, which took home the Golden Globe for box office achievement on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe nominees for the EE BAFTA Rising Star Award, now in its 21st year, were unveiled at London\u2019s Savoy Hotel on Wednesday with Aramayo, Madekwe and Sterling in attendance. It is the only BAFTA prize voted for by the British public. Last year, The Long Walk and Alien: Romulus star David Jonsson was named winner.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe nominee announcement follows confirmation of the BAFTA longlists on Friday<\/a>, which saw One Battle come away on top with 16 mentions, closely followed by Chloe Zhao\u2019s Hamnet and then Sinners. Following just behind them were Josh Safdie\u2019s wild ping-pong caper\u00a0Marty Supreme\u00a0(13), Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019 black comedy\u00a0Bugonia\u00a0(12) and Guillermo del Toro\u2019s gothic classic\u00a0Frankenstein\u00a0(12).<\/p>\n

\n\tBoth Joachim Trier\u2019s\u00a0Sentimental Value\u00a0and Jon M. Chu\u2019s\u00a0Wicked: For Good\u00a0also scored high on the longlists, appearing eight times each. Apart from\u00a0Wicked, they\u2019re all in contention for best film, as are\u00a0The Ballad of Wallis Island,\u00a0Nuremberg\u00a0and\u00a0I Swear.<\/p>\n

\n\tTimothee Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Jesse Plemons, Cillian Murphy, Ethan Hawke, Harry Melling and more in contention for a best lead actor nomination. Jessie Buckley, Cynthia Erivo, Emma Stone, Renate Reinsve, Rose Bryne and Infiniti will be looking to score a best actress nod, alongside Kate Hudson, Tessa Thompson, Jennifer Lawrence and Andrea Riseborough.<\/p>\n
