BAFTAs 2022: When are they, how to watch, who is hosting and who is nominated - including Everybody's Talking About Jamie

Founded in 1947, the BAFTA film awards (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) was created to help promote the art of filmmaking and to provide inspiration for any budding actors or artists.

It’s the most famous and recognisable film and television awards panel in the UK – receiving a BAFTA is a huge honour, even to those outside the British Isles.
