Emilia Jones turned heads at a pre-BAFTA party hosted by Vanity Fair at London’s Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday, wearing a stunning silver mini dress.

The 23-year-old actress, whose father is singer Aled Jones, showed off her legs in a stylish one-shoulder outfit.

Emilia made a grand entrance at the glamorous party, showcasing a fashionable outfit completed with elegant heels.

Emilia’s latest movie project saw her star in The Running Man alongside leading man Glen Powell. 

Award-winning actor Damian Lewis looked stylish and energetic as he arrived at the event.

He was joined alongside actress Jessica Henwick and American singer Cassie’s husband Alex Fine.

The EE British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) are back this Sunday, being held at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s Southbank Centre.

David Jonsson, a nominee for the 2025 Rising Star award, and Aimee Lou Wood revealed the nominations last month.

Following its strong showing at the Academy Award nominations, the film One Battle After Another received a total of 14 nominations, with Leonardo DiCaprio, its lead actor, also receiving a nomination.

Despite receiving a record-breaking number of Oscar nominations, the film ‘Sinners’ came in second at the BAFTAs with 13 nominations.

Oh my gosh, you guys, the awards were AMAZING! Marty Supreme and Hamnet totally crushed it with eleven wins each! I was screaming! Then Frankenstein and Sentimental Value both got eight, which is still incredible! I’m so glad they were recognized. And I Swear and Bugonia each snagged five, which is fantastic, but honestly, the real surprise was The Ballad of Wallis Island, Pillion, and F1 all getting three! I was so happy for them, even though they didn’t win as much. It was just… a perfect night!

Chloe Zhao’s film, Hamnet, based on Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed novel about Shakespeare’s family, has received more BAFTA nominations than any other film directed by a woman.

The films competing for the Best Film award tonight are Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, and Sinners and Sentimental Value.

Jessie Buckley, the Irish actress, is gaining momentum during awards season. After winning a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for her performance in Hamnet, she’s now considered the favorite to win both the Oscar and SAG Award next month.

The nominees for Leading Actress include Rose Byrne, known for her role in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You; Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue; Chase Infiniti for One Battle After Another; Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value; and Emma Stone for Bugonia.

Although Paul Mescal, who starred alongside Jessie in ‘Hamnet,’ wasn’t nominated for an Oscar, he did receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the BAFTAs.

I’m so excited for the awards season, but it’s going to be tough for him! He’s competing against some incredible actors this year – Benicio Del Toro is fantastic in ‘One Battle After Another,’ and Jacob Elordi’s performance in ‘Frankenstein’ is getting a lot of buzz. Then you have veterans like Petter Mullan in ‘I Swear,’ Sean Penn (also in ‘One Battle After Another’), and Stellan Skarsgard, who’s always amazing in ‘Sentimental Value.’ It’s a really strong field!

Leo has been nominated for a BAFTA for the seventh time for his role in One Battle After Another, and could potentially win his second award. However, he’s up against Timothée Chalamet, who is also nominated for his performance in Marty Supreme, continuing their rivalry from the 2026 awards season.

Rounding out the strong list of contenders are Robert Aramayo in ‘I Swear’, Ethan Hawke in ‘Blue Moon’, Michael B. Jordan in ‘Sinners’, and Jesse Plemons in ‘Bugonia’.

Wunmi Mosaku, a British actress with Nigerian heritage, is a strong contender for the Supporting Actress award. She’s nominated for her role in ‘Sinners’ and will be competing against Carey Mulligan (‘The Ballad Of Wallis Island’) and Emily Watson (‘Hamnet’).
