‘Rye Lane’ Star Vivian Oparah on Her BAFTA Leading Actress Nomination: ‘I Thought It Was an Extension of My Dream’
'Rye Lane' star Vivian Lane says she first thought her leading actress BAFTA nomination was an extension of her dream.
“ Rye Lane ” was one of the standout British indie films of 2023, a lively and delightfully-spun rom-com set in the south of London that helped add a fresh coat of paint to a genre that had been fading for several years. But despite the immense love that “Rye Lane” generated, resulting in a record 16 nominations at the British Independent Film Awards in December, few experts would have suggested it had the momentum to plant a flag in BAFTA’s main performance categories, especially given the competition. But now, having come to terms with the fact she’ll be attending the BAFTAs as an actual nominee (she went last year “incognito” alongside Jonsson), she’s exceptionally grateful to be going, so long as she can hold back from fangirling too much over Stone and Hüller.
