BAFTAs 2024 British Academy Film Awards will be air in London, Royal Festival Hall at 02:00 PM ET Time. This Sunday marks the grand occasion of the 77th BAFTA Awards, hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Set against the prestigious backdrop of the Royal Festival Hall in London.

BritBox recently inked a deal with BAFTA to stream a simulcast of the BAFTA Film Awards through 2025. Hosted by David Tennant, this year’s ceremony will take place at the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank Centre.

Bafta - which stands for the British Academy of Film and Television - is an arts charity that champions UK talent on both the big and small screen. Its annual film awards ceremony is one of the UK's most prestigious cultural events, honouring both international and homegrown talent. The awards aren't quite the Oscars but they're definitely up there.

“Oppenheimer” led the nominations with 13, followed by “Poor Things” with 11. “Oppenheimer” was nominated for best film, director for Christopher Nolan and lead actor for Cillian Murphy, along with supporting nods for Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. “Poor Things” received a best film nomination as well, and lead actress for Emma Stone.

This event is not just a celebration of cinematic achievements but also a precursor to the Oscars, offering hints about potential winners for the upcoming March 10 ceremony. The BAFTAs this year are honored to have Prince William attend in his role as president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, though Kate, the Princess of Wales, will be absent as she recovers from recent surgery.

Adding a touch of charm and wit to the proceedings will be the event's host, David Tennant, widely known for his role in "Doctor Who."

"Oppenheimer" by Christopher Nolan and Yorgos Lanthimos' "Poor Things" are leading the charge this year, holding 13 and 11 nominations, respectively.

"Doctor Who" actor David Tennant will be hosting the 2024 BAFTAs for its first show at the Royal Festival Hall. The awards show was previously held at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

In addition to "Doctor Who," viewers may also recognize Tennant from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Good Omens."

“I am delighted to have been asked to host the EE BAFTA Film Awards and help celebrate the very best of this year’s films and the many brilliant people who bring them to life," Tennant said in a statement.
