BAFTA Awards Producers Tease Show Surprises and Whether Barry Keoghan Will Cameo During Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Set


This year's BAFTA Awards producers break down what audiences can expect on Sunday night.

Last year’s BAFTA ceremony was a star-studded affair, with Richard E. Grant on hosting duties, an (unintentionally) viral rap from Ariana DeBose and the Prince and Princess of Wales in the audience. While it’s unlikely the Princess of Wales will be present this year (she’s recovering from a serious operation) and her husband Prince William is still TBC, there’ll also be plenty of glam on the red carpet thanks to confirmed attendees including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Idris Elba, David Beckham and Cate Blanchett, among others. Three hours standing on a stage is a long time for anybody, so you’ve got to have that natural charm, a little bit of cheekiness, an ability to respond to what’s happening around you and read the room.
