This year, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards (Baftas) are being held virtually, but that doesn't mean that the biggest night in the UK's entertainment calendar is going to pass quietly.

Oft billed as the British Oscars, 2021's ceremony is coming live from London's Royal Albert Hall, with Dermot O'Leary and Edith Bowman hosting.

Nominees include Sir Anthony Hopkins, Vanessa Kirby, Riz Ahmed, Frances McDormand, Chadwick Boseman, Clarke Peters, Alfre Woodard, Daniel Kaluuya and Sir David Attenborough. With Sound of Metal, Promising Young Woman, Rocks, Soul, The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Mank all up for awards.

An opening-night ceremony took place on Saturday night, which mainly focused on the craft of filmmaking and handed out nine awards.
