The 76th British Academy Film Awards, also known as the BAFAs (or BAFTAs), will be held on 19 February 2023, honouring the best national and foreign films of 2022.[1] It will be held at the Royal Festival Hall within London's Southbank Centre, the first time since the 69th British Academy Film Awards (2016) that the ceremony will not been held at the Royal Albert Hall. The move is part of a new deal between BAFTA and the Southbank Centre, and brings the Film Awards in-line with the British Academy Television Awards and British Academy Games Awards, which are already held there.[2] Presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, accolades will be handed out for the best feature-length film and documentaries of any nationality that were screened at British cinemas in 2022.

The nominations were announced on 19 January 2023 via a global livestream, hosted by actors Hayley Atwell and Toheeb Jimoh, from the arts charity's newly redeveloped HQ at 195 Piccadilly, London.[3][4][5] The EE Rising Star Award nominees, which is the only category voted for by the British public, were announced on 17 January 2023.[6]

The German-language anti-war drama All Quiet on the Western Front received the most nominations with fourteen, tying the record set by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) as the most nominated non-English language film in the awards' history; The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All at Once followed with ten nominations each. The former two are also one of the most nominated titles in BAFTA history, coming second (alongside 2007's Atonement) only to Gandhi (1982), the most nominated film at the BAFTAs with sixteen nods.[7][8][9]

However, the nominations were also notable for largely omitting Avatar: The Way of Water, The Fabelmans and Top Gun: Maverick, frontrunners at several other awards shows, from major categories, and for Bardo, Glass Onion, RRR and Women Talking being completely shut out.[10][11][12]

The ceremony will be hosted by Swazi-English BAFTA and Academy Award nominated actor Richard E. Grant while British television personality Alison Hammond will host from backstage, giving viewers what's billed as an "access-all-areas experience". Additionally, presenters Vick Hope and BBC Radio 1 film critic Ali Plumb will host the red carpet pre-show.[13][14][15] The broadcast will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK, and be syndicated globally.[3][16][17]

The BAFTA longlists were unveiled on 6 January 2023, featuring between ten and sixteen nominees in each category.[3][18][19] The nominees were announced on 19 January 2023 by actors Hayley Atwell and Toheeb Jimoh on the BAFTA YouTube channel.[20] The winners will be revealed during the ceremony on 19 February 2023.[16]

Ceremony information

This year, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts revised its broadcast plans for the Film Awards. For the first time in its history, the event will culminate in a live broadcast of the final four categories. In previous years, the ceremony has been recorded and broadcast as-live on the same day; the broadcast is being co-produced by BAFTA and Spun Gold TV. There will also be a new backstage studio; the intention is to give audiences an "access all areas" experience, complete with VTs from the red carpet and backstage, alongside talent interviews from past and present winners, nominees and presenters. Music performances will also feature throughout the broadcast. Recently appointed BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip commented on the major changes by saying: "The changes we are introducing to the BBC One broadcast of the awards will ensure those audiences will have the best seats in the house. Going live for the last awards of the night will raise anticipation, and our back-stage studio will give viewers exclusive insight into the event and the talent taking part."[16]
