EE Rising Star Award is the only BAFTA award category which allows the audience to vote and choose the most promising new talent. This year,
Tom Holland (
The Impossible,
Captain America: Civil War) was announced as the triuphator, beating some impressive competitors (Ruth Negga, Laia Costa, Anya Taylor-Joy and Lucas Hedges). It's very good news for the budding actor, as he joins a group of successful young stars such as James McAvoy (2006), Tom Hardy (2011), and last year's John Boyega.
Besides his well-deserved win, one more interesting thing has happened for all of the
Spider-Man fans. Tonight,
Tom Holland met
Andrew Garfield , the man whi played Peter Parker in
The Amazing Spider-Man series, for the very first time. According to Holland, the meeting was "
really, really nice. Andrew is a really lovely guy - everything I thought he would be. He is a brilliant actor too. I have always been a fan of his work", the young actor added.
