The BAFTA Film Awards 2022 will soon be upon us!

Dune has emerged with 11 BAFTA Film Awards nominations, while Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog received eight and Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast six.

A Quiet Place’s Millicent Simmonds and No Time to Die star Lashana Lynch lead the young actors nominated for BAFTA’s Rising Star Award.

Fans might be surprised to hear that Sony and Marvel’s film Spider-Man: No Way Home was not in the running for any BAFTAs, despite its huge success. The film had originally been submitted for the Best Film and Special Visual Effects categories, but “failed to meet eligibility criteria”, according to BAFTA.

A third round of voting will open between 9th February and 8th March, with the winners then announced during a live ceremony on 13th March in London’s Royal Albert Hall.

In the meantime, read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the BAFTA Film Awards 2022 live or on TV.

When are the BAFTA Film Awards 2022?

The BAFTA Film Awards 2022 are set to take place in London’s Royal Albert Hall on 13th March 2022.

The exact timings are yet to be confirmed.

We can’t wait!

How to watch BAFTA Film Awards 2021 live and on TV

The BAFTA Film Awards 2022 will air live on BBC One in the UK.

Viewers with a TV licence can also watch the BAFTA Film Awards 2022 through BBC iPlayer, which can be used to watch BBC One live.

Who will host the BAFTA Film Awards 2022?

Rebel Wilson, the comedian and actress best known for Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect, is set to helm the 75th BAFTA Film Awards.

Amanda Berry, BAFTA’s chief executive, said: “Rebel has stolen the show at several previous film awards, and we’re hugely excited to see her bring her fantastic charisma and humour to the whole show.”

Wilson said in a statement: “It’s going to be so much fun! I don’t wanna put any pressure on this – I know I’m not going to be funny because I am no longer fat. And besides, I’m not going to ‘sweat-it’ with nerves because I have a peculiar medical condition where I can’t sweat… or cause offence to people because of my adorable Australian accent.”

She added: “So basically, I’ll just be there to hang out with Dame Judi Dench and together we’ll both try and bond with Daniel Craig. And yes, I do mean ‘bond’. This show will be an anniversary celebration of some important British film franchises such as Harry Potter and not such as Cats. Everybody’s going to love it, I’m sure!”

The red carpet coverage of the event will be hosted by AJ Odudu and Tom Allen.

Who are the nominees for BAFTA Rising Star Award?

James Bond actress Lashana Lynch and West Side Story’s Ariana DeBose are among the young performers nominated for BAFTA’s Rising Star Award.

DeBose told Sky News that she was “shocked” by her nomination.

“I’m American, this doesn’t make any sense… I was like, ‘there’s absolutely no reason really for me to be here, except you guys asked me to be’, and that means the world.

“I’m so honoured to have the work recognised, and specifically, with this type of award, when that’s voted on by the British public, that’s really special,” she added.

Deaf actress Millicent Simmonds, who is only 18 years old, has also made the crop after starring in the horror film A Quiet Place and its 2021 sequel as Regan Abbott.

Harris Dickinson (The King’s Man, Maleficent) has also bagged a nomination alongside Australian actor Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog).

Smit-McPhee told Sky News he felt “sheer joy and excitement and shock” when he learned he’d bagged a nomination, saying he couldn’t put “it into words”.

Previous winners have included Bukky Bakray (Rocks), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Kristen Stewart (Twilight) and John Boyega (Star Wars).
