BAFTA has announced the nominees for this year's EE Rising Star Award, including Mikey Madison, David Jonsson, Marisa Abela and more.

The 28-year-old English actor said she is “deeply honoured to be recognised by BAFTA and EE with a Rising Star nomination and just as grateful to be alongside this year’s other incredibly talented nominees”.
