With the Golden Globes currently persona non grata, the BAFTAs have firmly staked their claim as second in command on the awards calendar, though new questions about its impact on the Oscar race have emerged.
awards in January took place behind closed doors, with no red carpet, no celebrities, no press and no audience. While there was obviously COVID-19 and the then Omicron surge to consider, the main factor behind this distinctly un-Globes complete removal of fanfare was the HFPA’s dramatic and well-documented fall from grace and an ongoing boycott by much of Hollywood.
It’s perhaps understandable that many people outside the film world — and even within — might not recall who even won .ceremony, by contrast, looks set to be a glitzy, star-studded affair, with the British Academy bringing out the big guns to celebrate the return to an in-person event at London’s Royal Albert Hall following 2021’s virtual affair. Rebel Wilson is on hosting duties, while Shirley Bassey will kick off proceedings by belting out a classic James Bond theme.
