After posting my choice for the BAFTA rising star award there have been a few comments suggesting other nominees deserve to win. While I stand by my choice of Jack O’Connell I actually believe all the nominees are deserving to demonstrate this I thought I would run through the winners and losers from previous years.

Enlightening
Great post and also great to see how well the winners and losers have done over the years they certainly manage to identify plenty of stars 🙂
There’s some incredible talent on these lists! It’s interesting to look at them as predictors of future careers. In the few short years since these were awarded it seems BAFTA weren’t always right. It will be interesting to see, if this will change over the course of the actors’ whole lives.
There are a lot of talented actors here. Thanks for sharing all the nominees and winners. It’s nice to see them all laid out like this.
