Between the ’60s and ’00s, the BAFTAs looked remarkably different from the slick production we’ve become accustomed to today.
The biggest night of the year for the British film industry, the BAFTAs have, for the last seven decades, held a special place in the hearts of many. It’s where stars of stage and screen from across Europe, the U.S., and around the world have mingled; where the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Cher have taken red carpet risks; and where Jodie Foster, Daniel Kaluuya, and countless other actors have been given their moment on the podium years before they received similar recognition from the Academy.
But it’s easy to forget that between the ’60s and ’00s, the BAFTAs looked remarkably different from the slick production we’ve become accustomed to today. Before the Duke and sat front and center, the Duke of Edinburgh was there, laughing with Peter O’Toole as he presented him with the award for best British actor forin 1963. Before Angelina Jolie glided down the red carpet in an off-the-shoulder black column gown in solidarity with Time’s Up, she attended in 1998 with a choppy pixie cut and her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller, in tow.
