Baftas 2026: Jessie Buckley and Timothée Chalamet among stars at Baftas awards as show gets under way
- On Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026, the 79th BAFTA Film Awards opened at the Royal Festival Hall, London, with thousands of BAFTA academy members choosing winners and one Rising Star Award selected by public vote.
- For the fourth year, British actors are largely absent from main acting categories at the 79th BAFTA Film Awards, with only five UK actors nominated across all categories.
- A total of 46 films are shortlisted, led by One Battle After Another with 14 nominations, and Chase Infiniti is nominated for Leading Actress and the Rising Star award.

- The BAFTAs will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7pm, Sunday 22 February, with stars regrouping in Los Angeles for the Actor Awards on March 1 and the Oscars on March 15.
