Leonardo DiCaprio is widely tipped to pick up his first award at the Baftas.

The 41-year-old has already taken home a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild statuette for his portrayal of American frontiersman Hugh Glass in The Revenant.

Up against Eddie Redmayne, Michael Fassbender, Bryan Cranston and Matt Damon at this Sunday’s awards from the British Academy Of Film And Television Arts, the Django Unchained actor is the bookies’ favourite to land the prestigious award.

Bafta has recognised a host of well-known names from the world of movies over the years, but this list of famous film-makers without one of its trophies may surprise film fans.

1. Tom Cruise

One of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood, Tom was on a roll in the 1980s with hit films including Top Gun, The Color Of Money, Cocktail and Rain Man.

He went on to demonstrate his range with the likes of Interview With The Vampire, opposite Brad Pitt, and Jerry Maguire co-starring Renee Zellweger.

Acclaimed for his performance as paralysed Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic in Born On The Fourth Of July, Tom received his only Bafta award nomination to date, but lost out to Philippe Noiret for Cinema Paradiso.

2. Halle Berry

The former fashion model and beauty queen got her first big-screen break as Samuel L Jackson’s drug-addicted girlfriend in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever, released in 1991.

Ten years later, her performance in Monster’s Ball made history as Halle became the first African American woman to win an Academy Award for best actress. She was also nominated for a Bafta, but Nicole Kidman took that honour for The Hours.

3. Harrison Ford

After achieving worldwide fame for playing Han Solo in the original 1977 Star Wars film, a role he recently reprised in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Harrison’s career soared.

Also known for his portrayal as archaeologist Indiana Jones in the blockbusting movie franchise which began with Raiders Of The Lost Ark, the 73-year-old has demonstrated his versatility across a variety of genres.

But it was 1985 film Witness, directed by Peter Weir and co-starring Kelly McGillis, which secured the star his only Bafta nomination to date for his portrayal of a detective tasked with protecting a young Amish boy (played by Lukas Haas) who has witnessed a murder.

4. Keira Knightley

She gained recognition after co-starring in Bend It Like Beckham, but it was her appearance in 2003 film Pirates Of The Caribbean, alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, that made her an international star.

Keira has made a name for herself in period dramas including Pride & Prejudice, The Duchess and Anna Karenina.

She received Bafta nominations for Atonement and The Imitation Game, but lost respectively to Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose and Patricia Arquette for Boyhood.

5. Stephen Fry

The much-admired comedian will host the Baftas for the 11th time on Sunday, but Britain’s leading film academy is yet to bestow the former QI presenter with a nomination for a leading or supporting performance.

Lauded for Wilde, in which he starred as literary great Oscar Wilde, Stephen received a 1998 Golden Globe nomination. However, the winner was Jim Carrey in The Truman Show.
