The opening night of the 2021 BAFTA Film Awards will soon get under way with nine winners looking to find some space for a golden mask on their mantelpieces.
Night 1, hosted virtually by radio and TV presenter Clara Amfo, is set to be a mostly craft-centered affair with categories such as casting, costume design and sound on the schedule. The first show was originally scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. local time, but according to sources the BBC made a late decision to push the broadcast by an hour.
Amfo opened the show by reading a tribute to Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, who died Friday at the age of 99.
“On behalf of BAFTA, we are extremely sadden by the passing of Prince Philip….The duke was BAFTA’s very first president……Prince Philip and her majesty’s the Queen’s support over these years….has allowed BAFTA to be here today in 2021,” Amfo read. “The duke of Edinburgh occupies a very special place in BAFTA history and he will be missed. Our thoughts are with his family.”
Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge, was scheduled to bring a royal touch to proceedings, however, the BAFTA president pulled out from both nights following the death of his grandfather. William was supposed to be leading a conversation with three-time BAFTA-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan and make up and hair designer Sharon Martin.
The musical interlude on opening night will come courtesy of Leslie Odom Jr., who will be performing the song “Speak Now” from his film “One Night in Miami.” Odom Jr. will be back for the main event on Sunday, when the winners for best film, director and the acting categories will be announced.
Saturday’s festivities will be capped off by Noel Clarke, former “Doctor Who” and current “Bulletproof” star, who is being recognized with the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award.
