OLIVIA COLMAN, aka one of the only humans to jump into bed with Peep Show’s Mark Corrigan, and Jonathan Ross are joining forces for BAFTA 2016.
The UK stars have jumped aboard the EE Rising Star Award jury to help choose the shortlist for next year’s gong – the only accolade at the ceremony voted for by the UK public.
Whomever is crowned the winner looks set for a glittering career, judging by previous triumphs.
Last year’s winner, Jack O’Connell, has catapulted from Brit kid in Skins to Hollywood superstar in Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut Unbroken.
He has since secured a role in Jodie Foster flick Money Monster as well as starring opposite Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz in upcoming project Tulip Fever.
Previous EE successes come in the guise of Kristen Stewart, Noel Clarke, James McAvoy, Juno Temple, and Tom Hardy.
Thrilled with her involvement, Colman said: “I feel very privileged to be sitting on the jury panel for the EE Rising Star Award.
“It’s so important to have a category that recognises up and coming talent.
“After reviewing the actors and actresses that have emerged this year, whittling down the shortlist is going to be no easy feat but I’m looking forward to it enormously.”
The 41-year-old, along with Ross, will team up with a host of industry experts for the task at hand, including Harry Potter director Mike Newell and casting director Nina Gold.
Nominees will be announced January 6, with the winner revealed at the bash on Valentine’s Day.
Not sure if he counts, but can Nemo get a nod for his role reprisal in Finding Dory?!
