A-list actors and award-winning filmmakers will take to the EE Bafta red carpet on Sunday (February 16) for the annual awards ceremony.
Among the British stars nominated this year are Cynthia Erivo, for her role playing Elphaba in the musical Wicked, and Ralph Fiennes, who starred in papal-set drama Conclave.
Also going up against Fiennes in the Leading Actor category is Hugh Grant, nominated for his role as a sociopathic scholar who plays mind games with two Mormon missionaries in the thriller Heretic.
During the award ceremony, actor Warwick Davis will be honoured with the Bafta Fellowship, the arts charity’s highest accolade, for his prolific career and work to create a more inclusive film industry.
