BAFTA Awards 2021: What, when where, here’s what we know about UK’s prestigious film awards
Ahead of the Bafta Awards which will be taking place this weekend, we are listing everything we know so far about the prestigious award show.
May be delayed, but the awards season is finally in full swing, well almost. And this weekend the 74th BAFTA Film Awards will manage to be the newest addition to this year’s few award ceremonies. As ever, the event will celebrate the best films from the past year (although there have been one or two coronavirus-enforced changes to the eligibility rules) with a number of critically acclaimed releases up for numerous prizes, including Nomadland and Rocks.
What: If you didn’t know, for the first time, the awards have been split into two separate ceremonies, both of which will be broadcast live from the Royal Albert Hall, although the winners will be receiving their awards virtually due to continuing pandemic restrictions.
When: Both the ceremonies will be held on Saturday 10th April and the main show the following day, on Sunday 11th April.
Hosts: The main show this year is being hosted by Dermot O’Leary and Edith Bowman, both of whom have previously worked on the Red Carpet pre-show on several occasions. Meanwhile, hosting duties for the Craft Awards fall to Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo As usual, there will also be a vast array of famous faces on hand to announce the winners of various awards, with the list of guest presenters including A-list stars such as Hugh Grant, Tom Hiddleston and Pedro Pascal. Other awards presenters include Asim Chaudhry, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sophie Cookson, Phoebe Dynevor, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Cynthia Erivo, Richard E. Grant, Felicity Jones, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, James McAvoy, David Oyelowo and Jonathan Pryce.
