With a TV Bafta already under her belt for Best Female Comedy Performance as Aimee Gibbs in Netflix's "Sex Education", Wood's transition to movies set the film awards in her sights. She most recently starred in "Living" alongside Bill Nighy and is preparing to debut as Sally Bowles in the critically acclaimed "Cabaret" at the Kit Kat Club in London.
"I am totally thrilled! Thank you BAFTA and EE. I love how this special award draws attention to emerging talent and I'm always so excited to see who the nominees are when they're announced. To be included this year is very surprising and a real pinch me moment. I feel extremely grateful and moved to be here amongst such wonderful people!" she said.
