Like the Oscars,
the BAFTAs are the UK's top honor for both British and
international movie hits.
In recent years, the BAFTAs have have closely mimicked
Hollywood (and vice versa), so the UK awards are always closely watched stateside for possible Oscar winners.
This year, the full list of 2022 BAFTA Film Awards nominees (see below) were announced on Thursday, February 3, 2022 with Dune leading the pack with 11 nominations, followed by eight nominations for Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog and six nominations for Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast.
Now watch out for the big announcement of winners (UPDATED, below) at the 2022 BAFTA Film Awards televised live from the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday, March 13, 2022 on BBC1.
Dune, Power of the Dog and Belfast lead the pack at this year's BAFTAs.
Hosting this year's ceremony will be actress and funny lady Rebel Wilson, who has already won the award for Most Likely to Keep Audiences in Stitches (see below).
Opeing the show will be legendary "Goldfinger" singer Shirley Bassey, in honor of the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise. Also appearing on the big night will be Emilia Jones who will perform a rendition of Joni Mitchell’s "Both Sides Now", a song taken from her performance in the film CODA. Best actress nominee Lady Gaga ("House of Gucci") will be on hand, as well, to present the Rising Star segment at this year's BAFTAs.
Royals in attendance this year include Prince William, who has been President of BAFTA since 2010, and his wife Kate Middleton.
Audiences in the US, Canada and South Africa can watch the broadcast streamed on BritBox, so check your local schedule in March.
Funniest presenter? Rebel Wilson at the 2020 BAFTA Awards.
