Wuthering Heights is undeniably in the air tonight. Countless stars gush about their excitement to see it, plans to watch it imminently, or having already rushed to the cinema. Archie Madekwe, one of the evening’s nominees and an Emerald Fennell alumnus, confirms he attended the premiere.
“It was beautiful,” he says. “And I think Jacob Elordi is the best actor in the world,” Madekwe gushes of his Saltburn co-star.

Beyond Wuthering Heights, actors also sing the praises of Hamnet, another recent standout. Victor Alli admits — shockingly — that he hasn’t yet seen the Shakespeare-inspired film but has set aside time this weekend to watch it. He plans to see Wuthering Heights too, though he’s been “adamantly avoiding all reviews.” A difficult feat in today’s internet age.
Stranger Things’ Amy-Beth McNulty hasn’t managed to catch up on any of the season’s nominated films yet, as she’s currently working her way through The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In a flowing green dress, with elfin features and red hair, she looks ready to step straight into Middle-earth herself. McNulty reveals her dress is “charity shop’s finest,” immediately prompting a desire to know exactly where she’s been bargain-hunting.
Charli Howard perfectly channels Old Hollywood glamour, effortlessly matching the room’s décor. Beaming, she says, “I’ve always loved old Hollywood stars, and I love having a bit of shape.” With a twirl, she’s gone — stopping to greet nearly everyone she passes.
This Morning’s Ashley James stuns in a sheer short dress finished with feathers. We spot her discreetly reattaching her activity tracker post-photos, determined to make tonight’s dancing count. Even she can’t escape the evening’s Wuthering Heights fixation, gushing about Margot Robbie’s method dressing. James reveals she attended the same school as the Brontë sisters, giving her a particular connection to the story. “I love film, and I love going to the cinema,” she says. “You just can’t beat the magic.”
