There's nothing like an ingenue breaking through and having their A Star Is Born moment. We're quite the sticklers when it comes to our eligibility criteria for this category. But these are the performers who left quite a mark at the beginning of their career.

Our final craft category of the evening, honours the lensing which lets the audience peek into the lives of the characters. At times Majestical, cornered between the walls, defying time and even augmented by visual effects, the camera guides us through the cinematic journey.
