The biggest night in film is just around the corner, with the EE BAFTAs taking place on Sunday night. Some of the brightest stars in showbiz will make their way to the ceremony's new home at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall to celebrate the very best in film of the past year. 

Viewers tuning in at home can look forward to the glitz and glam of the red carpet, before the ceremony unfolds on TV screens. Keep reading for all you need to know about the ceremony, including how to watch it, who's hosting this year and which major players are nominated. 

How to watch the BAFTAs

The BAFTAs will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer from 7pm on Sunday 18 February. Keep an eye out for the winners, which will be posted on BAFTAs social media channels and website throughout the evening.

You can also watch all the action from the red carpet, where hosts Clara Amfo and Alex Zane will be taking over on YouTube Livestream. With Bulgari being the watches and jewellery sponsor of the awards ceremony, we can no doubt expect some fabulous red carpet looks.
