What to know about this year’s Best Supporting Actress nominations

Both newcomers and seasoned actors compete in the 2025 BAFTAs' Best Supporting Actress category. A few were taken aback by Ariana Grande's nomination, as she made her debut as Glinda in Wicked. Similar to this, fans had differing opinions on Selena Gomez's role in Emilia Pérez, with some wondering where she would fit in with acting greats like Jamie Lee Curtis and Isabella Rossellini.

Unexpectedly, Gomez and Zoe Saldaña were nominated for Emilia Pérez, a musical comedy that combines fantasy and crime drama. Fans were intrigued and amused by Gomez's nomination, while Saldaña's performance was praised for its profundity.

The list gained some credibility from Isabella Rossellini's performance - however minor a role it was - in the dramatic political thriller Conclave, which takes place at the Vatican. In the meanwhile, many people consider Jamie Lee Curtis's portrayal in The Last Showgirl, a poignant story of an elderly showgirl confronting her past, to be among her greatest recent roles.
