The British Academy Film Awards, more commonly known as the BAFTAs or BAFTA Awards, is an annual film award show hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to honour the best British and international contributions to film. The ceremony was first held at the flagship Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square in London, then the Royal Opera House from 2007 to 2016. The event was held at the Royal Albert Hall from 2017 to 2022, before moving to the Royal Festival Hall for 2023. The statue awarded to recipients depicts a theatrical mask.

The first BAFTA Awards ceremony was held in 1949, and the ceremony was first broadcast on the BBC in 1956 with Vivien Leigh as the host. The ceremony was initially held in April or May; since 2001, it typically takes place in February.

History

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) was founded in 1947 as The British Film Academy, by David Lean, Alexander Korda, Carol Reed, Charles Laughton, Roger Manvell, Laurence Olivier, Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell, Michael Balcon, and other major figures of the British film industry.{{cite web|url=http://www.bafta.org/print/heritage/features/david-lean/david-leans-letter-to-the-academy,55,GAL.html |title=David Lean's Letter to the Academy |date=2 November 2009 |publisher=Bafta.org |access-date=16 February 2014}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000123/overview|title=BAFTA Awards: Overview|website=IMDb|access-date=2017-07-31}} In 1958, the Academy merged with The Guild of Television Producers and Directors to form The Society of Film and Television, which eventually became The British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 1976.{{cite news |title=History of BAFTA |url=https://www.bafta.org/heritage/history |access-date=5 January 2022 |agency=BAFTA.org}}

The stated charitable purpose of BAFTA is to "support, develop and promote the art forms of the moving image, by identifying and rewarding excellence, inspiring practitioners, and benefiting the public". In addition to high-profile awards ceremonies, BAFTA runs a year-round programme of educational events, including film screenings and tribute evenings. BAFTA is supported by a membership of about 6,000 people from the film, television, and video game industries.

The Academy's awards are in the form of a theatrical mask designed by American sculptor Mitzi Cunliffe, in response to a commission from the Guild of Television Producers in 1955.{{cite web |url=http://www.bafta.org/heritage/history/the-bafta-mask,123,BA.html |title=Mitzi Cunliffe and the BAFTA Mask |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120518230305/http://www.bafta.org/heritage/history/the-bafta-mask,123,BA.html |archive-date=18 May 2012 |url-status=dead |publisher=BAFTA }}

Annual ceremony

File:British Academy Film Awards.jpg ceremony]]

The ceremony previously took place in April or May, but since 2001 it has been held in February in order to precede the Academy Awards. Most of the awards are open to all nationalities, though there are awards for Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Producer or Director. Only UK films are eligible for the categories of The British Short Film and British Short Animation awards.

During each annual ceremony, BAFTA pauses in memoriam to pay tribute to those in the industry who have died over the past 12 months, showcasing a montage of images accompanied by music.

=Broadcast=

The Awards ceremony has been historically delayed broadcast on British television the same evening, and across the world. The first broadcast was on the BBC in 1956, with Vivien Leigh (who would present an award to her ex husband Sir Laurence Olivier) as the host.{{cite news |title=Switched On: Television joins the fold |url=https://heritage.bafta.org/moment/1958/switched-on-television-joins-the-fold/41 |access-date=5 January 2022 |agency=BAFTA.org}} It has been broadcast in colour since 1970. In the US the show was previously broadcast with a delay on BBC America until 2021, after which it has broadcast on streaming service BritBox.{{Cite web |last=Rosen |first=Christopher |date=2021-03-09 |title=When are the BAFTA Awards?
