Alexandra Roach makes Bafta longlist for The Iron Lady
Rising Welsh star Alexandra Roach has been named on the Bafta longlist in the category of best supporting actress for her role in The Iron Lady, which goes on general release in UK cinemas today.
The longlist is the result of round one voting of films by BAFTA members for entry in the 2012 Orange British Academy Film Awards. Round two voting, which opened today, will reduce these longlisted contenders down to the five nominations in each category.
