Take That and Jeff Goldblum to perform at Bafta awards
The boyband will sing their 2008 hit Greatest Day, which features in nominated drama Anora, while Wicked star Goldblum will play piano for the in memoriam section
The British boyband will be singing their 2008 No 1 during the ceremony because it features prominently in the opening of Sean Baker’s sex worker drama Anora, which is up for seven awards including best picture, director and leading actress for Mikey Madison. Meanwhile, Goldblum, who heads up a jazz band as well as starring in films such as Wicked – which is also in contention for seven awards – will perform on the piano as leading lights from the industry who have died over the past year are remembered. In 2023, Ariana DeBose performed a rap about that year’s female nominees, which attracted scorn, mirth and bafflement but has since gone down as a winningly offbeat moment in Bafta history.
