Alan Cumming is back on hosting duties at the Royal Festival Hall today at a ceremony that celebrates the best of cinema from the last year. While Hollywood's biggest hitters will vie for some gold for their mantelpieces (Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Stone and Jacob Elordi are all nominated) it's also a chance to recognize the best of British, with less celebrated films such as "I Swear", "The Ballad of Wallis Island" and " Pillion" all up for significant awards.
Outside of the prizes themselves, the biggest draw to today's broadcast is a performance of "Golden" from Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — the vocal talent behind girl group Huntrix in record-breaking Netflix animation "KPop Demon Hunters". And film executive Dame Donna Langley will be honored with the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship.
