Watch BAFTAs 2024: Preview
Despite creating a film catalogue so rich it's the envy of many of his peers, Christopher Nolan has never won a BAFTA. Surely that changes on Sunday. His blockbuster Oppenheimer is up for 13 awards at BAFTAs 2024, including best film, director, leading actor (Cillian Murphy) and supporting actress (Emily Blunt), and at this point it would be plain cruel if the Londoner was left empty-handed – again – at Britain’s biggest night of film.
The film with the next-most nominations is Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, though Lanthimos himself has been overlooked, followed by Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Barbie and Saltburn.
Anchoring proceedings at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall for the first time is national treasure David Tennant, and he'll be joined on stage by a who's who of big shot presenters, including Andrew Scott, Bryce Dallas Howard, Callum Turner, Cate Blanchett, Daisy Edgar Jones, David Beckham, Deepika Padukone, Dua Lipa, Gillian Anderson, Himesh Patel, Hugh Grant, Idris Elba and Keegan-Michael Key.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor will perform “Murder on the Dancefloor”, which was given a new lease of life by Saltburn 22 years after its release, while Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham will deliver a musical number of her own.
Tune in to see who will scoop up those iconic BAFTA masks, deliver sweet red carpet looks (like the little black dress-wearing Margot Robbie) and find out how to watch BAFTAs 2024 online from anywhere.
How To Watch BAFTAs 2024 online in the UK
You'll be able to watch the 77th British Academy Film Awards on BBC One at 7pm GMT on Sunday, February 18, hosted by David Tennant.
The three-hour ceremony is shown on a two-hour delay, which alllows producers to edit out any potentially controversial moments and shrink it to two hours.
BBC One is a free-to-air channel in the UK, though it requires a TV licence to watch live and on-demand programs. Whether you want to watch BAFTAs 2024 live on linear TV or through a device, you can do so on BBC iPlayer, where the award show will also be available to stream after its broadcast, too.
Signing up for a BBC iPlayer account is free. All you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. B1A 1AA).
You can also live stream the Red Carpet Show for free on YouTube from 3pm.
Abroad? Use a VPN using the instructions below to access BBC iPlayer back home.
How to watch BAFTAs 2024 from anywhere
If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch the BAFTAs just as you would at home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN, which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose a VPN and install it – our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN
2. Connect to a server – for BBC iPlayer, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the UK
3. Go to the live stream you wish to access – for the BAFTAs head to BBC iPlayer.
