The Bafta Film Awards can be a good indicator of which actors will go on to win at the Academy Awards, which this year take place on 15 March.
All of Bafta’s acting winners last year – Zoe Saldaña, Kieran Culkin, Mikey Madison and Adrien Brody – went on to triumph in their categories at the Oscars.
In fact, 13 of the last 15 best actor winners at the Baftas have gone on to repeat their success at the Oscars, as well as 10 of the last 12 Bafta best actress winners.
While other ceremonies such as the Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice and Actor Awards (formerly SAG) often go their own way, Bafta can sometimes be the most reliable indicator of what Oscar voters are thinking.
However, the best picture race split last year – with Bafta awarding Pope selection drama Conclave, before the Oscars went on to choose Anora.
