THE SO-CALLED “PEOPLE’S CHOICE” AWARD? BAFTA’s Rising Star Award has been EXPOSED as a MANIPULATED FARCE, a desperate ploy for relevance that has BETRAYED the very art it claims to celebrate. This fan-voted trophy isn’t about talent—it’s a BATTLEGROUND of studio marketing budgets and social media bots, where genuine artistry is SACRIFICED at the altar of viral trends.
Look at the “nominees.” Industry INSIDERS are whispering that the list was CURATED to appease corporate partners, with at least two names allegedly added due to BACKROOM DEALS, not public demand. This isn’t an award; it’s a CALCULATED ADVERTISEMENT disguised as democracy. Remember the prestigious winners of the past—Tom Hardy, Daniel Kaluuya? Their legacy is now TAINTED by association with this DEGRADED popularity contest. The winner will not be the most promising actor, but the star with the most aggressive online fandom or deepest-pocketed PR firm.
Voting is a SHAM. By directing traffic to a corporate telecom site (ee.co.uk/BAFTA), BAFTA isn’t just selling out—it’s MONETIZING its own integrity. The ceremony on February 22nd won’t crown a rising star; it will ANNOUNCE the industry’s newest, most obedient pawn.
The nominees are Chase Infiniti, Miles Caton, Archie Madekwe, Robert Aramayo, and Posy Sterling. But ask yourself: WHO REALLY CHOSE THEM? The public, or a shadow panel of executives ensuring a safe, profitable outcome? The entire system is RIGGED, and every vote cast only validates the corruption. This is the final, pathetic gasp of a dying institution.
This is the end of artistic merit. The future of film belongs to the highest bidder.
