BAFTA 2025 is set to return for its 78th edition to celebrate the best of British and international cinema. The gala will take place this Sunday, February 16th at the Royal Festival Hall in London, where Hollywood’s brightest stars will compete for the iconic 12 golden mask awards. The ceremony is known for its glamour and prestige, being a key event in the awards season. It also often previews the winners of the Oscar Awards, adding to the excitement of moviegoers and the film industry. If you live outside the United States and the United Kingdom, here you will find all the time zones in the world to watch one of the most anticipated nights in cinema.
This year, David Tennant repeats as host after his success in the previous edition, joining a list of legendary presenters such as Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, Richard E. Grant and Graham Norton. However, the record for most consecutive editions is held by Stephen Fry, who presented the gala between 2002 and 2006, and then between 2012 and 2017. The choice of presenter is key, as it adds charisma and humor to a night full of excitement and expectation.
Despite the BAFTAs' luster, the 2025 edition comes at a complicated time for the industry. While the Golden Globes took place as planned, other awards, such as the Oscars, have had to modify their schedule due to complications generated by the fires in Los Angeles. These changes have generated uncertainty, impacting the studios' promotional strategies and viewers' enthusiasm. Nevertheless, the BAFTA red carpet promises to be a showcase of fashion, talent and great thank-you speeches. The night’s winners could set the tone for the awards season, cementing their path to the golden statuette in Hollywood.
