Who is hosting the BAFTAs 2024?
52-year-old Scottish actor David Tennant will host the BAFTA Film awards.
Tennant is known all over the world for playing the tenth and fourteenth incarnation of the Doctor in the much-loved British TV series Doctor Who.
The actor is no stranger to awards shows, having previously won Emmy Awards for his performances in Des and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, together with a Scottish BAFTA for The Escape Artist.
Where are the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards held?
For the second year running, the BAFTA Awards will take place at the Royal Festival Hall in London's Southbank Centre cultural hub.
Opened in 1951, the Royal Festival Hall has been home to the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and is primarily used for classical music concerts.
Are the BAFTAs broadcast live?
The BAFTA Film awards are not shown live. The ceremony actually takes place earlier on Sunday, February 18 before being broadcast at 7pm GMT / 2pm ET.
According to BAFTA: "The actual ceremonies run at well over two hours, so they need to be edited to fit the two hour BBC schedule, and we need a little time to do that."
