The 74th British Academy Film Awards have wrapped, and proved that an awards ceremony that straddles two continents – with presenters, performers, nominees and winners on both sides of the Atlantic – makes for a compelling watch.

With online ceremonies, Zoom acceptance speeches and several venues, film academies around the world have had to adapt to a pandemic-safe approach.
The 2021 Bafta Awards were no different. This show was divided across two nights, with an opening night on April 10 and the main show on April 11.
On the second night, the live ceremony took place at London s Royal Albert Hall, but only hosts Dermot O Leary and Edith Bowman, and a selection of presenters and performers, attended in person. All of the nominees dialled in remotely.
