The 2022 British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) film awards, hosted by Rebel Wilson, are underway at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The evening began with BAFTA chair Krishnendu Majumdar paying homage to the people of Ukraine and to all those covering the war, many of whom are BAFTA members.
British musical treasure Shirley Bassey then launched the festivities with a rousing rendition of the title song from James Bond film “Diamonds Are Forever” for which she received a standing ovation from the capacity crowd.
Host Rebel Wilson began proceedings with a couple of quips: “You guys might be like why is Rebel Wilson hosting the BAFTAs? Uh yes I come from the bush but if you think about it don’t we all,”? Wilson asked.
Referring to her weight loss, Wilson said: “Since 2020 I’ve done quite a transformation. I hope J.K. Rowling still approves.”
“I’m so excited I can play the non-funny love interest in an Adam Sandler movie,” Wilson said.
Turning her attention to the latest box office hit Wilson said: “‘The Batman’ is set to become the biggest movie. Ironic that one man and a bat started the whole thing…”

The most celebrated event in the British film industry calendar returns for its first live edition since the pandemic. The last BAFTA Awards took place on Feb. 2, 2020, with COVID-19 a distant concern for most attendees. Last year’s event was largely virtual, with an in-person studio in place for a select group of presenters. It was also the beginning of a troubled chapter for BAFTA, which gave an Outstanding Contribution to Cinema award to actor Noel Clarke during the televised ceremony — just weeks before numerous women came forward alleging sexual harassment against the actor.
BAFTA, which has since conducted a review into its special awards process, is this year skipping any non-competitive awards altogether, including its prestigious BAFTA Fellowship and Outstanding Contribution to Cinema.
This year’s awards mark the second edition of the BAFTAs since the institute’s groundbreaking diversity review in 2020 threw up a diverse range of nominations. Denis Villeneuve’s epic sci-fi thriller “Dune” goes into tonight’s awards with the most nominations at 11 nods, while Jane Campion’s moody western “The Power of the Dog” has eight nominations.
Meanwhile, Kenneth Branagh’s personal coming-of-age drama “Belfast” is up for six Golden masks, while Daniel Craig’s swan song as James Bond, “No Time to Die,” has five nods alongside Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1970s-set “Licorice Pizza” and Steven Spielberg’s musical reboot “West Side Story.”
