Honorees for the annual list include Erin Kellyman, "Kneecap" director Rich Peppiatt, talent from shows like "Industry," "The Acolyte" and "Andor."

There was no middle ground,” says Peppiatt of his narrative feature debut, “Kneecap.” The lightly fictionalized biopic of the rise of West Belfast-based hip-hop group Kneecap — whose members Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí rap in English and Irish — was shortlisted for an international Oscar and has earned $4.5 million at the box office worldwide.
