So much great work to spotlight here from these leading ladies, but my choice was never in doubt for Rose Byrne’s towering work in IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU that’s already an all-timer in my books. #reelandrollawards2025

Lee Byung-hun’s magnificent work would be my win in most years, but it’s no surprise to anyone that my Lead Actor choice is Wagner Moura’s powerhouse star turn in THE SECRET AGENT. #reelandrollawards2025

What’s grown on me the most with every NO OTHER CHOICE rewatch is Son Ye-jin’s performance; grounding it with such devastating power amidst the comedic insanity of it all. Though I also adore Lilleaas’ performance so much too, also the heart of her film. #reelandrollawards2025

And now we proceed to my acting lineups, starting with Supporting Actor, where my win goes to Ralph Fiennes, whose brilliant work as Dr Kelson comes in the clutch marvellously to take 28 YEARS LATER to a whole other level of greatness in its third act. #reelandrollawards2025

With its immaculate balance of tonal shifts, time leaps, offbeat tangents to go with its devastatingly human core; how could I possibly award this to anything but THE SECRET AGENT? Nevertheless, so much layered work here from so many exciting voices. #reelandrollawards2025

Alex Garland did the unthinkable and with 28 YEARS LATER, built upon the post-apocalyptic foundation into directions that were surprising, thoughtful and incredibly moving. Only too glad to give him a win for his outstanding work here. #reelandrollawards2025

Definitely saw a little less than usual this year that qualified for this category, but still plenty of strong work to be found. #reelandrollawards2025

I knew from the first time I watched it, that Evgenia Alexandrova’s work on THE SECRET AGENT was going to be my personal win here. Don’t fret too much over the exact rankings. All superlative work and it was so hard narrowing last year down to ten slots. #reelandrollawards2025

From period to contemporary costuming, a wide range of costume design excellence; the stylish extravagance of FRANKENSTEIN plain itself at the top of my list. #reelandrollawards2025

So many incredible makeup and hairstyling effects last year, especially in the horror genre, and kudos to the Academy for nominating and drawing my attention to THE UGLY STEPSISTER, which is my personal win. #reelandrollawards2025

Many gorgeous set designs in 2025 films, and the crowning achievement for me was every distinctly crafted phase of Bi Gan’s RESURRECTION. #reelandrollawards2025

There was no other choice for the winner, of course, in what might be Park Chan-wook’s most memorable needle drop of his career (which is saying something). But many banging song choices by directors this year. #reelandrollawards2025
