Discussing the nomination, the actress said: "The EE Rising Star Award is one I’ve always admired for recognising exciting emerging talent.
"I’m so elated for my fellow nominees who inspire myself and others, as we continue to fight for change within our industry and the world. I’m proud to be able to do that in moments like these."
The actress' fellow nominee DeBose recently won a Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a supporting role.
DeBose said: "To say I’m excited is an understatement, and I’m so thankful to Bafta and the EE Rising Star Award jury for this recognition. Genuinely blown away."
Deaf actress Simmonds, 18, starred in the 'A Quiet Place' film series.
The actress described feeling "very honoured to be considered for this prestigious award from Bafta, and to be in such amazing company with the actors that have been previously nominated, as well as my fellow nominees."
