Speaking to the PA news agency on the red carpet Ms Millichip said: "If you look at the best British category this year, it's an amazing array of really small character pieces. Its an extraordinary category with films like Bird, Blitz and Gladiator 2.' She added that it was "incredibly important" to have films not in the English language like Kneecap and Emilia Perez.

Bafta Awards 2025: All the most daring looks on the red carpet
Hollywood's brightest stars descended on London for the 2025 Bafta ceremony – and showed off a whole load of eye-catching red carpet looks in the process. The biggest names in the film industry opted for high sartorial drama when they arrived at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday afternoon (16 February). The event is always one of the highlights of awards season, and guests pulled out all the stops in sequinned gowns, fashion-forward tailoring and monochromatic outfits. Here are some of the most striking looks straight from the red carpet… Gwendoline Christie The Game of Thrones and Star Wars actor can always be relied on to make a statement on the red carpet with a bold look, and her Bafta ensemble was no exception. Gwendoline Christie opted for gothic glamour in a high-necked black gown with lace detailing at the shoulders and witchy deconstructed sleeves. Oh, and her ice blonde, waist length hair deserved a moment of appreciation too Monica Barbaro It's her very first time on the awards season circuit, but A Complete Unknown star Monica Barbaro, who plays Joan Baez opposite Timothée Chalamet in the Bob Dylan biopic, has already carved out a reputation as one to watch on the red carpet. This barely-there sequinned number, with its slightly scalloped hem and wavy embellishments, makes her look like a high-fashion mermaid (in the best possible way). David Tennant The former Doctor Who star is never one to shy away from making a bold sartorial choice. As he returned to Bafta hosting duties for the second year in a row, David Tennant chose a long-line jacket with embellished lapels and edges, complete with a similarly bedazzled shirt and tie. Well, it was certainly more interesting than a predictable old tuxedo... Hannah Dodd Bridgerton star Hannah Dodd added some intrigue to a classic black dress with an eye-catching bejewelled over skirt, well worthy of the diamond of the season. Kelly Rutherford Gossip Girl Kelly Rutherford channelled her inner Lily van der Woodsen in a dramatic, sculptural black gown complete with a high-low hem and an unexpected cut-out at the waist. She even managed to somehow make black opaque tights look red carpet-worthy, which is no mean feat. Jeff Goldblum The Wicked star looked dapper in a tailcoat, a feather-embellished waistcoat and signature shades. AJ Odudu It's always a delight to see what AJ Odudu wears for a high-profile occasion – see the incredible outfits she opts for when she's hosting the Big Brother live shows for plentiful evidence – and for this year's Baftas she pulled off one of her most sensational looks yet. The presenter looked like a high fashion Princess Leia in this draped, hooded white dress complete with thigh-high split.

Severance Season 2: Gwendoline Christie's Mystery Character Explained
Viewers are curious to know about Gwendoline Christie's role in the recently released Severance Season 2. She is a renowned English actress, widely known for portraying Brienne of Tarth in HBO's hit series Game of Thrones. With her arrival in the Apple TV+ series' third episode, fans are wondering how she will contribute to the existing plot. So, here are the details. Christie plays Lorne, a mysterious employee, working in the Mammalians Nurturable department at Lumon Industries in Severance Season 2. After not being invited into the goat room warmly in Season 1, Mark and Helly give a second shot at it in the current season. To their surprise, they are greeted by a new employee, Lorne, who asks them, 'Have you come to kill me?.' They politely introduce themselves and inquire about the department. To which, Lorne responds, 'Mammals Nurturable,' which may allude to their responsibilities regarding the upbringing and care of the mammals. Lorne, who appeared untidy, was seen wearing a green badge and was dressed in a blue-and-white attire. When Mark and Helly reveal that they are looking for Casey, a wellness counselor, Lorne reacts angrily and says, 'We don't abide such fripperies here.' Further, she insists them to carry their search somewhere else. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Christie opened up about Lorne, sharing that she hasn't disclosed full details of her character even to her colleagues and friends, and has tried her best to keep it under wraps. This is due to her admiration for the series' 'mysterious' nature. Expressing her gratitude for the series, she said, 'It was a true great gift to be invited to be a part of the series. It was just such a fulfilling experience as an actor and a creative. This piece of work's really spoken to me and I really adore it. I'm so hugely grateful to be a part of it.' The show releases its episodes on Fridays. Originally reported by Shazmeen Navrange on ComingSoon.
