Posted 07 Jan 2025 by Joe Duggan

“This is bonkers…Thank you BAFTA, EE and the wonderful jury for this nomination. As a young boy growing up in East London, I couldn’t think of an honour that’s more about the people, and proof that you can do it too. An absolute blessing and dream. Thank you, truly.” NYT alumnus David Jonsson, who has been nominated for the 2025 BAFTA EE Rising Star Award.
