BAFTAs 2025 guest list: Which celebs are going to be at this year’s ceremony?

New pictures from London’s Royal Festival Hall have been released, showing which stars will be attending the 2025 BAFTAs ceremony on Sunday (16 Feb): and some seriously huge A-list names are on the guest list.

For the second year in a row, the BAFTAs will be hosted by Doctor Who and Good Omens star (and passionate LGBTQ+ ally) David Tennant. His performance as the 2024 host garnered widespread praise, it was also a ratings hit watched by more than 3.8 million viewers at home.

The best film nominees for the 2025 BAFTAs are Conclave, The Brutalist, Anora, A Complete Unknown and 2024 Spanish-language trans musical Emilia Pérez, which recently became embroiled in a scandal after it emerged that lead actress Karla Sofia Gascón previously wrote a number of offensive tweets which negatively referenced Islam, George Floyd – whose death at the hands of police sparked protests worldwide – and diversity at the Oscars. Gascón is also nominated for best actress at the 2025 BAFTAs.

It has been widely reported that Karla Sofia Gascón will not be attending the 2025 BAFTAs due to the ongoing fallout from her past comments, however her co-stars Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez will be there.
