"I Swear" star Robert Aramayo, "Sinners" actor Miles Caton and "One Battle After Another" star Chase Infiniti are among the nominees for the EE Rising Star Award at next month's British Academy of Film and Television Arts Film Awards.
British actors Archie Madekwe and Posy Sterling complete the list of five contenders for the prize, the only one voted for by the public at Britain's top movie honours, organisers said on Wednesday.
American actor Infiniti was recognised for her role in the critically acclaimed One Battle After Another, playing Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio’s kidnapped daughter, Willa. US actor and musician Caton received a nod for Sinners, also his acting debut, in which he plays the key role of blues musician, Sammie.
Aramayo was nominated for I Swear in which he portrays Scottish activist John Davidson, who has long campaigned for awareness around Tourette syndrome.
Madekwe, was recognised for playing pop star Oliver in thriller Lurker while Sterling was nominated for playing Molly, a young mum just out of prison, in drama Lollipop.
The winner, announced at the BAFTA Film Awards on February 22, will follow in the footsteps of past recipients such as Spider-Man star Tom Holland and Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya.
BAFTA will announce the full list of the 2026 awards nominees on January 27.
