This year's BAFTA award nominations have been revealed, with Carol and Bridge Of Spies out in front on nine nominations apiece. The Revenant has eight nominations and Mad Max: Fury Road seven. This year's Rising Star nominations, meanwhile, include John Boyega, whose role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which received four nominations, means some people might argue that he has already risen.
