No fewer than 16 of the 24 acting nominees this year come from ethnic minority backgrounds, in what has been described as a "highly diverse" shortlist.

The glitzy awards night - known as the BAFTAs - has seen a host of famous faces walk out on the red carpet and rub shoulders with the industry's finest.

But will it have the same feel this year amid the Covid pandemic?

What has driven the diverse nominations list?

In the past year, BAFTA undertook a wide-ranging review, signalling the beginning of a significant cultural shift within the organisation.

The changes introduced for the Film Awards are the first phase in an ongoing process of levelling the playing field for all entered films.

Chair of BAFTA Krishnendu Majumdar said: “This year’s nominations showcase and celebrate the remarkable range of performances and nominees behind the camera from 50 films and we’re delighted to recognise such high-quality work.

“We are also delighted to see the strength of British film shine through in all categories.

“After last year’s nominations, we started the BAFTA Review process with the intention of levelling the playing field and introduced​ a range of measures to ensure that all entered films were seen by our members and judged on merit.

“We hope today you can see some of those changes reflected in the breadth and depth of those nominated and we congratulate all our nominees.”

When are the 2021 BAFTAs?

In 2021, the BAFTAs will take place across the weekend of 10-11 April without a live audience.

Instead, this year’s awards will be split into two ceremonies - one on each day - which will be broadcast virtually from London's Royal Albert Hall.

How can I watch the 2021 BAFTAs?

The first show will celebrate the craft of film. It will be broadcast on Saturday 10 April on BBC Two and BBC Two HD.
