The 74th Annual British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards are upon us, with their most diverse pool of nominees to date. Aside from being a virtual event much like many other ceremonies during this peculiar award season, this year’s BAFTAs are unique in that they will be announcing the lucky winners across the evenings of the 10th and 11th of April.

Following our final predictions, we will be keeping you up to speed on the winners of each category as soon as they are revealed over the next two days. Continue checking back to see which of your favorite performers and filmmakers walk away with one of the famous BAFTA masks. With this being one of the last major ceremonies before the Academy Awards, the results here have the power to propel contenders ahead in the Oscars race for one last time. The nominations for the 2021 Academy Awards can also be found on DiscussingFilm.
