The 2026 BAFTA Awards are right around the corner, so here are the hot picks for some of the leading categories.
The biggest night of the year in the British film sphere is nearly here, as the run-up to the Oscars nears its conclusion.
Film News Blitz’s RC Stacey is here to run through the bookies’ favourites for the Supporting Actor Categories
‘Stellan Skarsgård’ for Best Supporting Actor at 4/11 (BET365)
Starring as the narcissistic, but ultimately grieving and redeemed filmmaker in the seminal Sentimental Value, this might be Stellan Skarsgard’s most emotionally impactful turn.
Boasting a career spanning more than three decades, Film News Blitz believes his role as Gustav Borg will earn him his first BAFTA.
If those odds are a little too low for you, perhaps take a look at Paul Mescal’s turn as the Bard (because it is the BAFTAs, he’ll get a favourable look) at 6/1 also from BET365.
‘Teyana Taylor’ for Best Supporting Actress at 1/1 (BET365)
It is no mean feat to star in a film opposite Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Leonardo DiCaprio and find yourself standing head and shoulders above them all.
Teyana Taylor’s turn as Perfidia Beverley Hills in PTA’s One Battle After Another does that, and then some.
With no doubt in our minds, Taylor takes the trophy.
Let us know who you think will win in the acting categories this year.
