‘Wild Rose’

Musical drama Wild Rose, featuring a breakout performance from Jessie Buckley, leads the pack at this year’s Bafta Scotland awards with three nominations.

Tom Harper’s film about a troubled young mother from Glasgow who dreams of being a country singer picked up a best actress nod for Screen Star of Tomorrow Buckley, best writer for Nicole Taylor and a nomination for best feature film.

The film took £2.89m at the UK box office when it was released in April, following a strong reaction at its Toronto world premiere.

Full list of nominations below

Buckley will be up against Shirley Henderson for her performance in biopic Stan & Ollie and Screen Star of Tomorrow Florence Pugh for her role in medieval Scottish drama Outlaw King.

Other titles up for best feature include Harry Wootliff’s romantic drama Only You and Freedom Fields, Naziha Arebi’s documentary about the creation of an all-women football team in post-revolution Libya.

Jack Lowden, another Screen Star of Tomorrow and last year’s Bafta Scotland winner for his performance in Calibre, has been nominated for best actor for his role in Mary Queen Of Scots. He will be up against Lorn Macdonald for his performance in coming-of-age drama Beats and Peter Mullan for his portrayal of a lighthouse keeper in drama The Vanishing.

The best director in the fiction category will be decided between Jon S. Baird for Stan & Ollie, Brian Welsh for Beats and Johnny Kenton for Inspector Morse prequel TV series Endeavour.

Bafta Scotland rewards the best talent in film, TV and games produced in Scotland over the last year. Eligible films must have been funded, produced, co-produced and/or shot in Scotland. Scottish individuals in non-Scottish films are also eligible.

The Bafta Scotland awards take place on November 3 in Glasgow. Last year’s awards saw Armando Iannucci win best fiction director and best writer for The Death Of Stalin while the best film was won by Nae Pasaran, a documentary about workers’ solidarity in the 1970s.
