This year the Bafta took place in person for the first time since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, with Rebel Wilson host the ceremony.
As the 2021 awards show was pushed back weeks and nominees and audiences alike attended virtually, Britain’s biggest film night was back with a red carpet for cinema’s most star-studded names.
The sci-fi epic of Denis Villeneuve Dunes led the pack this year with 11 nominations, closely followed by Jane Campion’s western The power of the dog who amassed a total of eight.
