description: The incident had previously been addressed on stage by host Alan Cumming.
encoded: The BBC has issued an apology after a racial slur was heard during last night's broadcast of the BAFTA Film Awards from Royal Festival Hall on Sunday (22 February). The comments by audience member John Davidson, who suffers from a form of Tourette’s syndrome that includes uncontrollable vocal tics, were made while Sinners stars Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting the first award of the night. BAFTAs host Alan Cumming addressed the incident shortly afterwards, explaining to viewers: "You may have noticed some strong language in the background. "This can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film [I Swear] explores that experience. Thanks for your understanding and helping create a respectful space for everyone." I Swear, which won two awards on the night, tells the true story of Davidson, a man living with a form of Tourette's which includes coprolalia, defined as involuntary swearing or the utterance of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks. Later in the ceremony, the presenter provided further context. He said: "Tourette’s Syndrome is a disability and the tics you’ve heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette’s Syndrome has no control over their language. We apologise if you are offended tonight." A BBC spokesperson told Radio Times: "Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the BAFTA Film Awards. This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and as explained during the ceremony it was not intentional. “We apologise that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it will now be removed from the version on BBC iPlayer." Speaking to Vanity Fair after the ceremony, Lindo said that he and Jordan “did what we had to do” while presenting the category, but that he wished “someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterwards”. In a statement, BAFTA said it acknowledged the “harm this has caused, address what happened and apologise to…

encoded: One Battle After Another was the big winner at the BAFTA Film Awards in London's Royal Festival Hall last night – with Paul Thomas Anderson's hugely acclaimed film taking six awards including best film. The glittering ceremony was hosted by Alan Cumming and included a range of big name guests including the singing stars of K-Pop Demon Hunters and a special appearance from Paddington Bear, while Hamnet, Sinners and Frankenstein were among the other films to score multiple wins. Meanwhile, in perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, I Swear star Robert Aramayo was named best actor ahead of favourite Timothée Chalamet, having already won the BAFTA rising star award earlier in the evening. Aramayo's win wasn't the only upset in the acting categories, with Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku winning best supporting actress and One Battle After Another's Sean Penn best supporting actor. However, as had been expected, it was Jessie Buckley who won best leading actress for her turn in Hamnet. Elsewhere, there were wins for Akinola Davies Jr's My Father's Shadow in the outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer category and for Sentimental Value in film not in the English language.

description: Time to breathe new life into the BAFTAs.
encoded: What separates the BAFTAs and the Academy Awards? Apart from the time in which they take place and the somewhat bumbling delivery of the former, they are frustratingly difficult to differentiate from one another. Indeed, each of the five 2026 nominations for the BAFTA best film award can be found in the Oscars’ best picture race – and this has been the case for the last 10 years (excluding I, Daniel Blake in 2017 and The Mauritanian in 2020). Sure, there are exclusive British categories – such as outstanding British film and British short film – but these often feel sidelined for the glamorous headline-grabbing awards that are littered with Hollywood icons (with a peppering of surprising British nods if you’re lucky). Instead, what BAFTA seemingly prefers is to squirrel away its bold artistic acknowledgements to one table signposted ‘outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer’. But, even then, the finest artistic endeavours of the previous year shouldn’t expect a seat. Case in point — Harris Dickinson’s staggering directorial debut feature, Urchin. Snatching the tools from the playbook of BAFTA darling Ken Loach and infused with a smattering of Andrea Arnold’s poetic introspection, Urchin is an urgent and compassionate examination of a lost soul, let down by ever-deteriorating state support. Mike (Frank Dillane) is the dynamo at the centre of Dickinson’s modern fable, a young homeless man who finds himself in prison early on in the story before spending the rest of the film constantly trying to atone for his wrongdoings. A sensitive and intelligent individual, Mike’s chances of triumph seem hopeful at first, finding a job at a shabby but popular hotel, with the support of rehabilitation services who help to put him up in accommodation. Yet, underfunded state assistance is only so generous, making any chance of true prosperity for Mike a near-impossibility. Clearly traumatised by a troubled upbringing, he struggles to make something of himself withou…

encoded: Few people know the BAFTA Film Awards better than Edith Bowman. The Scottish broadcaster has worked extensively with the organisation for many years, frequently presenting the BAFTA Scotland Awards and even hosting the main ceremony itself alongside Dermot O'Leary back in 2021. She's therefore uniquely positioned to speak about this Sunday's upcoming awards, and so ahead of the ceremony Radio Times spoke exclusively with Bowman at BAFTA HQ in London's Picadilly, to get the lowdown on what sets the BAFTAs apart from all the many other ceremonies that populate the increasingly lengthy awards circuit. With a huge number of terrific films featuring in this year's nominations – from One Battle After Another to Sinners – Bowman also picked out a few films and performances that she'd been especially wowed by, as well as singing the praises for another tremendous year of British cinema. We were joined for the conversation by Zeena Hill, the director of marketing for BAFTA's official screen partner Samsung Home Entertainment & Appliance, who also gave her verdict on which films she'd love to see triumph at Royal Festival Hall this weekend. You can read the full chat below: Radio Times: Awards season consists of so many different ceremonies. What is that makes the BAFTA Film Awards stand out from the rest? Edith Bowman: I've been lucky enough to work with BAFTA over the years in various different guises. And the award shows are the kind of front-facing thing are amazing and recognising people's achievements. I love all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes that a lot of people don't realise – that BAFTA is a charity, and the support that it gives that next generation of talent, whether they be in front of the camera, behind the camera... But I think what's great is the way that BAFTA is constantly evolving with the its juries, and its processes. It's really listening to what's going on in the outside world and adjusting that to really feel like it's moving with the times a…

This year the BAFTAs have a great opportunity to differ from the Oscars in one key way

description: A win for I Swear's Robert Aramayo in the best actor category would be a welcome shake-up in an awards season which risks becoming stale.
encoded: Add I Swear to your watchlist. The BAFTA Film Awards will take place at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday 22 February 2026. See the nominees in full. When the BAFTA Film Award nominations were announced yesterday (Tuesday 27th January), there can't have been too many people shocked by most of the films and actors that made their way onto the shortlists. Although BAFTA broke from tradition this year in announcing their nods after the Oscars rather than before, in pretty much every other way the nominations still make the upcoming ceremony look more or less like a carbon copy of the Academy Awards – as is the case with so many of the "precursor" award shows that seem to serve primarily as dress rehearsals for the main event. Sure, there were a couple of minor changes to the line-up – for example, One Battle After Another's Chase Infiniti and Hamnet's Paul Mescal made it into their respective categories after missing out last week – but for the most part it's the same names (and in a few notable instances, the same snubs) as it has been all awards season. Of course, consensus is not necessarily a bad thing, and it's often the case that the films being honoured time and time again very much deserve their seat at the table. But it's always felt rather pointless to me to have so many different awards ceremonies only to repeatedly see the same winners crowned at every single one. Surely it would make more sense for each of these various voting bodies to have their own unique character and personality and opt for some slightly more offbeat picks, rather than just continuing to honour the big hitters that already look set to be rewarded with multiple Oscars? This is why the inclusion of five nods for Kirk Jones's incredibly moving true story film I Swear – about the life of Tourette's activist and campaigner John Davidson – is so welcome. It's exactly the kind of small British film which, like fellow nominees Pillion, The Ballad of Wallis Island, and My Father's Shadow,…

encoded: Less than a week after the Oscar nominations were announced, BAFTA has now followed suit – and it's One Battle After Another which leads the pack with a total of 14 nominations. Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed film has just one more nod than Ryan Coogler's Sinners – which follows up its record-breaking Academy Awards haul with 13 nominations here – while next in line were Hamnet and Marty Supreme on 11 nominations apiece. Meanwhile, there were also eights nods for both Frankenstein and Sentimental Value, while home-grown films which fared well included I Swear (five nominations), The Ballad of Wallis Island and Pillion (three nominations each). In the acting categories, many of the same names who featured in the Oscars shortlists have been nominated again – but there are also some notable changes, with the likes of Chase Infiniti, Paul Mescal, Carey Mulligan and Robert Aramayo all making it into their respective categories. Aramyo and Infiniti also both feature in the previously announced five-strong shortlist for the BAFTA Rising Star Award, alongside Archie Madekwe, Miles Caton and Posy Sterling – with voting now open for the British public in that category. Speaking about the nominations, BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip said that the shortlisted films "showcase the very best of storytelling and its ability to engage, entertain and provoke debate". She added: "The breadth of narrative, genres and styles is spellbinding. Whether newcomers or veterans, I hope our first-time nominees enjoy this much deserved spotlight, and I look forward to welcoming them and all our returning nominees to London." The nominations were announced by actors Aimee Lou Wood and David Jonsson and you can find the list in full below ahead of the ceremony – which will be hosted by Alan Cumming at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday 22nd February.

encoded: David Tennant won't be returning to host the BAFTA Film Awards for a third consecutive year in 2026 – but he's set to be replaced by another iconic Scottish actor. BAFTA has announced that Alan Cumming will be taking over as the presenter of the prestigious awards ceremony, after he previously fronted the TV Awards earlier this year. Of course the actor – known for numerous roles on stage and screen – is no stranger to presenting, also serving as the host for the US edition of The Traitors, so it looks like we're in pretty safe hands. "How exciting to be back in the BAFTA fold, this time hosting the EE BAFTA Film Awards," Cumming said in a statement. "A night like no other when we celebrate and honour creativity and craftsmanship – and also hopefully have a laugh and create some mischief as we do so!" BAFTA's executive director of Awards & Content, Emma Baehr, added she was "beyond excited" that Cumming would be bringing his "sharp wit, warmth and vibrant energy" to the ceremony. She continued: "As we honour the outstanding talent in film that brings stories to life on screen, we know that Alan will give us an unforgettable night full of laughter, magic and plenty of surprises, and maybe some extraordinary outfits!" The awards will once again be held at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday 22nd February 2026, while a slightly edited down version of the ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. In total 25 prizes are up for grabs on the night, culminating in the Best Film Award, which was last year won by Conclave. Round one of voting has already opened ahead of the longlists being unveiled on Friday 9th January, with nominations set to follow on Tuesday 27th January. Of course we can probably already have a decent guess at some of the films that may feature prominently – with the likes of Hamnet, Sinners and One Battle After Another all expected to be major awards players. Meanwhile, it's very possible that some acclaimed British films, including I Sw…

description: The papal thriller took top honours at last night's BAFTA Film Awards.
encoded: Whatever your views on the merits of each of the films in consideration, it can’t be denied that it’s been a funny old awards season. From hotly contested races in some of the big categories to major controversies regarding individual nominees, the campaign trail has been full of surprises – particularly when we look back on last year’s race, when a string of victories for Oppenheimer always felt like something of a foregone conclusion. The odds for the all important Best Picture trophy at the upcoming Oscars have been especially prone to fluctuation, and indeed several of the big Hollywood trade magazines have switched their chosen frontrunner almost too many times to count. Recently, it appeared as if Sean Baker’s Anora might have emerged as the consensus pick following a glut of key precursor wins, but it looks like yet another spanner could have been thrown in the works following Conclave’s Best Film win at last night’s BAFTA Film Awards.

The acclaimed actor returned as host of the awards ceremony and while he did make some quips at the current US Commander in Chief, not all of them made the final edit. As reported by Deadline, Tennant said it was unlikely Trump had seen film biopic The Apprentice as "it's a 15 and it's not on Nickelodeon". He added: "Donald Trump. I'm worried. I've said his name three times, it's like Beetlejuice - I have summoned him." A spokesperson for the BBC told RadioTimes.com: "The nature of the show is that it’s broadcast with a short delay, and edits have to be made due to time constraints."

Speaking of The Brutalist, Tennant said: "It's the boldest film about architecture this year apart from Donald Trump's hair in The Apprentice." As he moved on to the next joke, Tennant said: "Talking of villains..." which received a round of applause from those in attendance.

Jonsson was nominated for the award following his turn in Alien: Romulus and beat a host of other nominees including his Industry co-star Marisa Abela as well as Mikey Madison, Jharrel Jerome and Nabhaan Rizwan. On receiving the award, he said: "I've got to be honest, this isn't why I do it, you know what I mean? I'm just an East London boy who by way of reflection didn't really see a space for me in this industry. But this award is about the people, and as long as we keep telling stories about people I think there'll be a space for me and people like me and you and everyone watching at home. He added: "So I'd like to dedicate this to the people, the dreamers, grafters and the people just trying to do it a little bit different. Star, I don't know, but rising – I guess!" In addition to his roles in the aforementioned Industry and Alien: Romulus, Jonsson has also impressed with performances in a variety of projects including the hit 2023 romcom Rye Lane and the BBC Agatha Christie adaptation Murder is Easy. Meanwhile, he has several other film projects in the pipeline including dystopian horror film The Long Walk and drama Wasteman, while he's attached to play Sammy Davis Jr in the upcoming true story drama Scandalous, which will be the directorial debut of actor Colman Domingo.

Genre-defying musical crime comedy-drama Emilia Pérez has 15 selections on the longlist, closely followed by papal mystery thriller Conclave with 14. The second round of voting has now opened for BAFTA members, with the longlist set to be shortened down to a list of official nominations. These will be unveiled on Wednesday 15th January, before the third round of voting begins a week later on 22nd January. The EE BAFTA Film Awards 2025 ceremony will then take place on 16th February at London's Royal Festival Hall, where the winners will be announced. In the coveted Best Film category, there are 10 films on the longlist for this year, with the line-up featuring Anora, The Apprentice, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, Kneecap, The Substance and Wicked. Meanwhile, those films longlisted for the Outstanding British Film category include Back to Black, Bird, Blitz, Civil War, Conclave, Gladiator II, Hard Truths, Kneecap, Lee, Love Lies Bleeding, The Outrun, Paddington in Peru, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, We Live in Time and Wicked Little Letters.

The films longlisted in that category include Flow, Kensuke's Kingdom, Piece by Piece, Spellbound, That Christmas, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, The Wild Robot and Young Woman and the Sea. Although it secured nine longlist nominations overall, Gladiator II has raised eyebrows with its omission from the Best Film, Best Director (Ridley Scott) and Best Lead Actor (Paul Mescal) categories. Meanwhile, Luca Guadagnino's Challengers is in contention for only two awards – original screenplay and editing – while Angelina Jolie's buzzy biopic Maria has missed out on any recognition in a surpr…

This is the second time 53-year-old actor, best known for his roles in Good Omens, Harry Potter, Broadchurch and, of course, Doctor Who, will host the star-studded event – having been widely praised for his charm during this year's ceremony. Tennant was most recently seen on our screens as Lord Tony Baddingham in Disney Plus drama Rivals, the power-hungry managing director of Corinium Television. He is also set to appear in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club.

The BAFTA Film Awards will once again be held in Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, and though a specific date has not yet been announced, the ceremony usually occurs during the first few months of the year. Last year, the ceremony saw the likes of Oppenheimer, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall taking home awards. This year, Steve McQueen’s Blitz, Andrea Arnold’s Bird and Edward Berger's Conclave are just some of the pictures predicted to win the coveted trophies. Speaking on the announcement, CEO of BAFTA Jane Millichip said "We couldn’t be happier that David Tennant is returning to host the EE BAFTA Film Awards in 2025.

description: Next year's BAFTA Film Awards will take place in February!
encoded: BAFTA has added a brand new award to its categories, in addition to its eligibility, voting rules and timeline for the for the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2025. Amongst the key changes is the introduction of the Children's and Family Film award, which aims to celebrate the very best films "appealing to inter-generational audiences". This marks the first new category to be introduced in five years following the introduction of the Casting award in 2020. BAFTA confirmed: "As previously set out in autumn 2023, the inclusion of a dedicated award for children and family films will profile the essential creative contributions of the children's media sector." Elsewhere, a new points-based system has been introduced for the Outstanding British Film category, which aims to "strengthen the category's eligibility criteria to provide clearer guidance on how films qualify". According to BAFTA, the new system will "encompass criteria such as nationality of the candidates for nomination, key department heads and cast, alongside collating information about co-productions, BFI cultural test, setting, source material, and the new Independent Film Tax Credit." There has also been an eligibility update for Best Film, in which the minimum number of theatrical screenings has been increased "to ensure British cinema audiences have ample access to Best Film contenders on the big screen". Films will now have to be shown on at least 50 commercial screens in the UK for at least seven days, in comparison to the previous 10 screenings per day for seven day criteria. Sara Putt, Chair of BAFTA, said: "Four years ago, we rolled out the most comprehensive set of Awards interventions in BAFTA's history to level the playing field for talented creatives working in the screen arts. We've seen the impact of those changes in the four years of entry and voting data since – from more BAFTA voters watching more films than ever before to more women directors being nominated in the last four years than in BAFTA's 77…

encoded: The BAFTA Film Awards took place last night, with the stars gathering on the red carpet to celebrate the best of British talent. As always, the ceremony featured an In Memoriam segment to pay tribute to the stars who passed in 2023, including Tina Turner, Tom Wilkinson, Julian Sands and Jane Birkin. One big name that was missing, however, was Matthew Perry's. The Friends star passed away last October at the age of 54. Responding to a viewer on X (formerly known as Twitter) who asked why he had been omitted, BAFTA confirmed Perry would be remembered in this year's BAFTA TV Awards ceremony, which is expected to take place in May. In the wake of Perry's passing, Friends co-stars David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Jennifer Aniston said they were "utterly devastated" by the news. "We were more than just castmates. We are a family," they said in a statement. View oEmbed on the source website Last night's event, which was hosted by David Tennant, saw Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham perform Cyndi Lauper’s song Time After Time for the segment.

Both films – along with Martin Scorsese's epic Killers of the Flower Moon – are longlisted in 15 different categories, while other films appearing in numerous categories include Poor Things (14), Maestro (12) and Saltburn (11). A second round of voting is now open for BAFTA numbers that will see the various lists whittled down before the final nominations are announced on Thursday 18th January ahead of the ceremony at London's Royal Festival Hall exactly one month later. Ten films are in the longlist in the coveted Best Film category, with Barbie, Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things and Maestro joined by All of Us Strangers, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Past Lives and The Zone of Interest. Three of those films – All of Us Strangers, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest – are also in the running in the Outstanding British Film category, with other longlisted films including Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, How to Have Sex, Napoleon, Saltburn and Wonka. Meanwhile, major hopefuls that didn't fare so well include Sofia Coppola's Priscilla and Todd Haynes's May December – with just two appearances apiece – and Michael Mann's Ferrari, which features only in technical categories.

description: Britain's biggest film night is being hosted by none other than Tennant himself.
encoded: It's the biggest night for British film in the calendar and, like clockwork, the BAFTA Film Awards are returning to Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London with a very special host. Fresh off the back of the success of his return to Doctor Who, David Tennant will be hosting this year's BAFTAs, which will likely be another evening of unforgettable accolades recognising the stellar film talent of the past year. Of course, Tennant was most recently on our screens as the Fourteenth Doctor in the very special slate of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary episodes, where he surprisingly "bigenerated" with Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa. While there are "no plans" for Fourteen to return to the Whoniverse, Tennant will be returning to our screens in this exciting new presenting capacity. Aside from Doctor Who, Tennant is known for his starring roles in Prime Video's Good Omens, Broadchurch and in theatre productions of Much Ado About Nothing, Richard II, Hamlet, and, currently, Macbeth. This marks the first time the Scottish actor has presented the inaugural honours event and commenting on the announcement of the news, Tennant said: "I am delighted to have been asked to host the EE BAFTA Film Awards and help celebrate the very best of this year's films and the many brilliant people who bring them to life.” More recently, Tennant became the talk of last year's BAFTA TV Awards when he and Catherine Tate jointly presented the award for Features. During the preamble before the presentation, fans of Tennant were shocked to learn that the acclaimed actor has never received a BAFTA nomination. While Tennant has been nominated for BAFTA Scotland and Wales, he has not received a nomination from the main BAFTAs. Well, while this isn't a nomination, fans of the actor will undoubtedly be excited about his new BAFTA news. Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, also said: “We are over the moon that David Tennant will be our host for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards. He is deservedly beloved by Brit…
