The 74th British Academy Film Awards were held Sunday evening at the Royal Albert Hall, London. The awards were hosted by Edith Bowman and Dermot O’Leary, with nominees, a few awards presenters and the audience attending virtually. The BAFTA Film Craft Awards were presented a day earlier, on Saturday evening.
Quite a few Awards presenters were present in person for the awards. Priyanka Chopra, along with partner Nick Jonas, Hugh Grant, Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Asim Chaudhry, Cynthia Erivo, James McAvoy, David Oyelowo, Sophie Cookson, Phoebe Dynevor, Richard Grant, Felicity Jones, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Pedro Pascal and Jonathan Pryce attended the event. Rose Byrne, Andra Day, Anna Kendrick and Renee Zellweger presented virtually.
Chloé Zhao made history by becoming only the second woman ever, after Kathryn Bigelow in 2010, to win Best Director at the BAFTA Film Awards, for her much-lauded film, Nomadland. Needless to add, she also became the first woman of Asian descent to win the coveted Award.
