The EE BAFTA Film Awards are officially taking place on April 11th 2021, just a few months ahead of the television awards ceremony, which will be held later this year. On March 9th, the nominees for each film category were announced, including the highly anticipated Rising Star award, which previously saw Top Boy star Michael Ward take the win back in 2020. Strong contenders for this year's awards ceremony include Nomadland and coming-of-age drama Rocks both with seven nominations, followed by Minari with six total nominations. Riz Ahmed's Sound of Metal is nominated for three awards, including a nomination for Ahmed himself as best actor. Check out the full list of nominees below.
