Here’s everything to know about this year’s BAFTA winners…
BAFTA winners are a rare few, but who exactly are they?
The British Academy Film Awards is one of the most prestigious award ceremonies there is, taking place each year in April and celebrating the previous year in film.
Taking place this weekend in a star-studded virtual ceremony, the 2021 BAFTAs were held by Dermot O’Leary and Edith Bowman.
Prince William’s appearance as the Royal President of BAFTA was cancelled ahead of the show following the tragic announcement of Prince Philip’s death.
‘In light of The Duke of Edinburgh’s passing, The Duke of Cambridge will no longer be part of BAFTA programming this weekend,’ BAFTA announced in a statement. ‘Our thoughts are with the Royal Family, to whom we offer our deepest sympathy at this time.’
BAFTA paid a moving tribute to Prince Philip, who previously held the title of President of the organisation, at the start of their Saturday show, with host Clara Amfo announcing:
‘Tonight we want to say on behalf of BAFTA that we are extremely saddened by the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on Friday.
‘The Duke was BAFTA’s very first president over 60 years ago, and was the first in a line of royal patronages all the way through to BAFTA’s current president, his grandson, the Duke of Cambridge.’
She continued: ‘It was Prince Philip and Her Majesty the Queen’s support throughout these years that in many ways allowed BAFTA, a leading charity in the arts, to continue in difficult times and to be here today in 2021 celebrating another outstanding year of achievement in film.
‘The Duke of Edinburgh occupies a very special place in BAFTA history. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with the royal family.’
