The 2026 BAFTA Film Awards are about to start at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
The Traitors presenter Alan Cumming will host the ceremony for the first time. He takes over from last year’s presenter, David Tennant. Cumming hosted the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards.
One Battle After Another leads the pack with 14 nominations, including Best Film, Director, and Adapted Screenplay. This is the second-highest nominations haul recorded by a film after Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi, which landed 16 in 1983.
Sinners landed 13 BAFTA nominations. The film’s haul includes Director and Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler. Michael B. Jordan landed his first BAFTA nomination in the Best Actor category, and Manchester native Wunmi Mosaku landed a Best Actress nomination.
NBCUniversal Entertainment chairman Dame Donna Langley will be honoured with this year’s BAFTA Fellowship, the arts charity’s highest accolade. Clare Binns, creative director of PictureHouse Cinemas, will be presented with BAFTA’s Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema prize.
