Another year brings another EE BAFTA Awards. The 2025 ceremony, which will be hosted by David Tennant will take place on Sunday, 16 February.
The long list for this year has been announced – and it’s a pretty eclectic set of films. Who makes the ultimate nominations is anyone’s guess at this point, but I do have favourites that I’m rooting for.
Kneecap is one of my favourite movies of the year, The Substance was a bold film and it would be nice to see something with a bit of old-school charm like Conclave do well.
Check out the full longlist below:
