Irish stars Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan and Paul Mescal are among the BAFTA nominees who will attend the star-studded awards ceremony in London on Sunday.
Murphy and Keoghan are both nominated in the Best Actor category for their turns in Oppenheimer and Saltburn, respectively.
All of Us Strangers' Andrew Scott was a notable omission from the Best Actor shortlist but will be in attendance at the ceremony as a presenter, alongside co-star Mescal, who is nominated for the Supporting Actor prize.
The Emma Stone-starring dark fantasy Poor Things, produced by the Dublin-based Element Pictures, has received 11 nominations, among them Irish producers Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe and cinematographer Robbie Ryan.
The Christopher Nolan-directed Oppenheimer leads the nominations with 13. Nolan will attend the ceremony, which will feature performances by Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Hannah Waddingham.
It was previously announced that Ellis-Bextor will perform her 2001 hit Murder on the Dancefloor, which experienced a surge in popularity after it featured in the closing moments of Saltburn.
Ted Lasso star Waddingham will also give a live musical performance, but further details have not been shared.
The Crown star Claire Foy is another star who will be attending Sunday's ceremony. She is nominated for the Best Supporting Actress prize for her performance in All of Us Strangers, Andrew Haigh's searing drama about grief and loneliness.
Other attendees will include Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan, who are both nominated for their roles in Cooper's Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, and Colman Domingo, who is nominated for his role in Rustin, as the man who helped Martin Luther King Jr and others organise the 1963 March on Washington.
Mulligan's Best Actress rivals Margot Robbie, who is nominated for Barbie; Emma Stone, who is nominated for Poor Things; Sandra Huller, who is nominated for Anatomy of a Fall; Fantasia Barrino, who is nominated for The Colour Purple and Vivian Oparah, recognised for the British romantic comedy Rye Lane, will also be in attendance.
Robbie's Barbie director Greta Gerwig, who was snubbed in the directing category, will attend alongside her husband and co-writer Noah Baumbach, and co-star Ryan Gosling, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Gerwig and Baumbach are nominated for their screenplay for the film, which was the highest-grossing of 2023.
Other famous faces due to present include David Beckham, Dua Lipa, Hugh Grant, Idris Elba, Cate Blanchett and Daisy Edgar-Jones.
It was previously announced that the BAFTA Fellowship, the film academy's highest honour, will be presented to actress Samantha Morton.
Emma Baehr, Executive Director of Awards and Content at BAFTA, said: "It is a privilege to welcome so many nominees to the EE BAFTA Film Awards this Sunday, representing some of the best on-screen and behind-the-screen creative talent working in film today who have provided audiences worldwide with an incredible year of film.

"With host David Tennant bringing his charm and charisma to the ceremony, and performances from Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Hannah Waddingham, it promises to be an entertaining show for all our nominees and guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home around the world."
