Baftas on BBC America
Join BBC America for an exclusive front row seat at the UK’s biggest and most star-studded awards show, The British Academy Film Awards, Sunday, February 11, 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Fresh from Golden Globe's success and recognition in this week’s Oscar nominations, British royal drama The Queen leads the pack after receiving 10 nominations including Dame Helen Mirren for Best Actress and Stephen Frears nominated in the Best Director category.
Casino Royale picked up nine nominations at this year’s awards, including best actor for Daniel Craig with Pan's Labyrinth up for eight awards. This year’s event will be held at the Royal Opera House in London.
Like the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs are often a good indication of who will walk away with the industry’s most coveted golden statue later in February. Last year Philip Seymour Hoffman and Reese Witherspoon won BAFTAs for Best Actor and Best Actress and weeks later took home Oscars.
BBC AMERICA’s presentation of The British Academy Film Awards is sponsored by Infiniti and Heineken.
