The BAFTA Film Awards will be held on Sunday at London’s Royal Festival Hall. U.S. viewers can watch the red carpet and award ceremony on E!, while U.K. viewers can watch the awards on BBC One and iPlayer.
The BAFTA Awards will be broadcast at 7 p.m. GMT, or 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. Dedicated to celebrating the best in British and global film, “The Traitors” star Alan Cumming will host the awards.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” leads the 2026 nominees with 14 nods, including for best film, director, leading actress, leading actor and more. Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” trails just behind with 13 nominations, with nods for best film, original screenplay, director and more. The full best picture lineup also includes Chloe Zhao’s “Hamnet,” Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme” and Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value.”
The director race includes Zhao, Safdie, Anderson, Coogler, Trier and Yorgos Lanthimos for “Bugonia.” Zhao’s recent nod raises her BAFTA nominations tally to seven, with two wins under her belt for best film and best director for “Nomadland” in 2021. With 11 nominations, the director made history this year as “Hamnet” became the BAFTA’s most-nominated film by a female director. (Zhao is also the only female director to be nominated this year.)
Jesse Plemons (“Bugonia”), Robert Aramayo (“I Swear”), Timothée Chalamet (“Marty Supreme”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“One Battle After Another”), Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”) and Michael B. Jordan (“Sinners”) all received leading actor nominations, with Jessie Buckley (“Hamnet”), Rose Byrne (“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”), Kate Hudson (“Song Sung Blue”), Chase Infiniti (“One Battle After Another”) Renate Reinsve (“Sentimental Value”) and Emma Stone (“Bugonia”) earning leading actress nods.
Britbox previously had the broadcast rights to the BAFTAs in the States in years past.
