With their seemingly endless appearances on award ceremony red carpets – from the Golden Globes to the Emmys, Baftas and Oscars – the faces of the film and TV world’s finest stars are well-known.

The 76th British Academy Film Awards will be held on February 18 and the nominations have been revealed.

Some of the biggest movies of 2023 are expected to receive trophies such as Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic about atomic bomb creator J Robert Oppenheimer dominated the main categories, with nominations for the actors, in Best Film and for Nolan in Best Director.

In comparison, Oppenheimer’s box office rival Barbie received just five nominations.

People can expect to see the likes of Martin Scorsese, Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie walking down the red carpet next month at the ceremony.

But what about their often unsung partners? Can you match the actor or actress to their real-life other halves?
