With their seemingly endless appearances on the red carpets of awards ceremonies – from the Golden Globes to the Emmys, Baftas and Oscars – the faces of film and TV’s top stars are well-known.
The 76th British Academy Film Awards will be held on February 18 and the nominations have been announced.
Some of the biggest films of 2023 are expected to receive trophies, such as Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon.
Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic about atomic bomb creator J. Robert Oppenheimer dominated the major categories, with nominations for acting, Best Picture and Nolan for Best Director.
By comparison, Oppenheimer’s rival Barbie received only five nominations.
People can expect to see the likes of Martin Scorsese, Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie walking the red carpet at next month’s ceremony.
