ALICIA VIKANDER, JO HARTLEY AND NAOMI ACKIE JOIN THE BAFTA EE RISING STAR AWARD JURY PANEL TO SELECT THE COVETED AWARD’S 2021 SHORTLIST
(partial article, the rest @ the source)
Wednesday 20th January, London: Academy Award® winner Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina and The Danish Girl), actress and BAFTA Film Committee member Jo Hartley (Eddie the Eagle and After Life) and BAFTA-winning actress Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and The End of the F***ing World) joined the BAFTA EE Rising Star Award jury panel to select the shortlist for the 2021 Award.
Now in its sixteenth year, it is the only 2021 EE British Academy Film Awards category to be voted for by the British public. Celebrating new and up-and-coming talent within the industry, past recipients of the EE Rising Star Award have gone on to become household names and achieve some of cinema’s highest accolades. The prestigious list of previous winners includes James McAvoy, Eva Green, Juno Temple, Tom Hardy, Kristen Stewart, Noel Clarke, Jack O’Connell, Will Poulter, John Boyega, Tom Holland, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright and last year’s winner Micheal Ward.
For the first time in BAFTA EE Rising Star Award history, the jury meeting took place over video conferencing. The assembly saw the jury passionately deliberate over which five will go head-to-head in the public vote ahead of the 2021 EE British Academy Film Awards, which opens on Wednesday 3rd March 2021. The winner will be revealed at the ceremony on Sunday 11th April 2021.
Accompanying Naomi Ackie, Jo Hartley and Alicia Vikander on the jury panel were an outstanding line-up of industry experts, gathered digitally to debate the merits of the emerging talent longlist.
Chaired by EMMY-winning and BAFTA-nominated television producer and BAFTA Chair, Krishnendu Majumdar, the panel also included producer and director Anand Tucker (The Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hilary and Jackie), casting directors Leo Davis (The Queen and A Very English Scandal), Nina Gold (Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Kings Speech) and Lucy Bevan (The Old Guard, An Education and Beauty and the Beast) as well as Creative Director Gaylene Gould. The jury was completed by prominent film and arts journalists.
Alicia Vikander said: “Being a BAFTA EE Rising Star nominee was a significant marker in my career and it is an honour and delight to deliberate the shortlist for this year's award alongside the impressive panel of jurors. In what has been a tumultuous year for the industry, watching these new faces has given me hope and excitement for the years of film to come.”

Given the frustrations some have expressed that this was a private picture that violates the privacy of two individuals who choose not to share private details of their lives, I think it would be really funny if it turns out this is an old picture of her in costume for a pregnancy scene from The Light Between Oceans and the person who swiped it didn't understand what they were swiping.
I feel the picture may be recent, shes been wearing her hair like that in a few past pics and and face looks a bit fuller. I guess time will tell! Fashion week is also coming up
ETA maybe this was announced today to draw away from the pregnancy rumors

I agree that it looks recent, and definitely not from 2014, so I’m happy for the soon to be parents.I feel the picture may be recent, shes been wearing her hair like that in a few past pics and and face looks a bit fuller. I guess time will tell! Fashion week is also coming up

I noticed that the Tomb Raider articles don’t mention the pregnancy at all, which is kind of strange since it can definitely affect the schedule. If the picture is from this month I can’t see them start filming until September at the earliest (just as well considering the pandemic).
Maybe those relatively serious outlets don’t want to speculate based on this pic alone, but it also looks like it wasn’t spread that much after the fandom was notified that it was a stolen picture.
I wonder what happened with Ben Wheatley. It could be that he had other projects lined up, and the delay made it impossible for him to continue.
The articles are probably not mentioning the pregnancy because they have not confirmed it. As i understand it, the picture, combined with the paparazzi pics where people speculated about pregnancy from Ibiza and then Sweden for her birthday, are the only clues there have been. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the most recent pic where there are no questions is not a picture Alicia released, but one that was picked up from private social media. That implies that either they don't want the news out there, or want to be able to deny that they released the news. The Tomb Raider stories would only mention it if it was confirmed by a PR person.
I believe this is new but I'm not sure

I agree with @Caroline-Mathilda. I was happy to see that most people elsewhere did a pretty good job deleting photos once everyone understood that these are private family photos. The fact that one happened to see them does not make it ok to share in a public setting... I hope the posters here @_cococream_ @Barbara_1998 do the same, thank you! I also hope that the other photos don't show up... That said, I'm sure we are all very happy for Alicia and Michael (and the rest of the extended family).

So far, so good and it’s encouraging that the other photos haven’t surfaced anywhere yet.
Like you I’m delighted for Michael and Alicia; I would love for baby Fassbender-Vikander to be a girl especially for
Michael’s parents. Both sets of grandparents must be super excited!
Some old pics
If I remember correctly, Alicia was with her and her boyfriend when they were in Spain last year (in July)
(here's the tweet below)
