The BAFTA Film Awards return this evening with a new home in the Royal Festival Hall at London’s Southbank Cente, where this year’s nominees are lining the red carpet. Scroll down for pics.
The awards ceremony is hosted by Richard E. Grant (picking up the baton from Rebel Wilson). Festivities will kick off at roughly 5:45 p.m. local time. BBC One will begin airing the show an hour later at 7 p.m. local, and in a BAFTA first, the TV broadcast will conclude with the live reveal of four categories: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film, and the EE Rising Star Award, presented by Lashana Lynch.
In previous years, the event has been pre-recorded and broadcast with a delay.
The show will open with a musical performance from actress and performer Ariana DeBose (Hamilton, Westworld, West Side Story). DeBose returns to the BAFTA stage just a year after winning the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. BAFTA said DeBose’s performance will feature “contemporary music” that will be “inspired by this year’s nominees.”
Other major plans set for the evening include a performance from Mercury Prize-winning rapper Little Simz, and Dame Helen Mirren will lead a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The nominations for this year’s Film Awards are led by Netflix’s German-language World War I drama All Quiet on the Western Front, which has 14 nods, including Best Film, Director, and Adapted Screenplay.
All Quiet’s haul equals the previous record set by Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for the most nominations for a non-English language film in BAFTA history. All Quiet has also clocked the most BAFTA noms for an individual film since The King’s Speech in 2011, which also had 14.
