Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson lead the nominations for The Baldies.


The Hollywood action movie stars are up for three awards each, including the coveted Baldy of the Year gong, at the UK’s first ever awards dedicated to recognising and celebrating bald confidence, presented by bald skincare brand BLD BRO.


Johnson and Statham will do battle with basketball icon LeBron James, rapper Pitbull, and legendary actor Stanley Tucci in the main Baldy Of The Year category.


The pair are also up for the Bald Icon award, where they will face stiff competition from acting legends Sir Ben Kingsley, Samuel L. Jackson, and the late, great Sir Patrick Stewart, who died last month aged 86.


Johnson and Statham will both be hoping to land a hat-trick of accolades when the winner of Best Bald Actor is announced.


They will face off against Tucci once again, as well as Fast and the Furious star Vin Diesel, and Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo.


Tucci and while basketball legend LeBron both have two nods for the upcoming awards.


James also has a nod in the Bald Sports Personality Of The Year category, alongside darts star Michael van Gerwen, Olympic icon Sir Mo Farah, and former footballers Thierry Henry and Ian Wright.


What's more, Henry's former France teammate Zinedine Zidane has a nomination in the Bald Football Manager Of The Year category, and his ex-gaffer Pep Guardiola is also up for the accolade.


The pair will do battle against England manager Thomas Tuchel, Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca and Spain's Luis de la Fuente.


Tariq Kazemi, co-founder of BLD BRO and The Baldies, said: "For too long, baldness has been portrayed as a problem. We fundamentally disagree with that.


"The central idea behind our mission at BLD BRO is to champion bald confidence. We believe that being bald is actually pretty sweet and something worth shouting about.


"These awards honour people in the public eye and in our community who personify everything that’s great about being bald.


"We’re inspired by all of the nominees and want to showcase that bald really is beautiful."


Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer are in with a chance of Best Bald TV Presenter, with Gail Porter, Marvin Humes and Ross Kemp also in contention.


The honours will include four community awards, where every day baldies can be nominated and celebrated by their peers.


Two special honours - Bald Inspiration and Services To Baldness - will be selected by an in-house awards panel.


The Baldies are being launched by bald skincare brand BLD BRO to celebrate people who embody the spirit of bald confidence, following what has been a breakout year for bald heads. It marks a pivotal change to an outdated narrative around baldness, which has traditionally been viewed as a problem in need of a fix.


All awards are open for public vote via the BLD BRO website - www.bldbro.com. Winners will be revealed on Wednesday 27 January 2027.
