BAFTAs 2022: UK’s Big Film Awards Night – Live!

Plus, before the show starts, a quick reminder that Baftas Shows are not live, and anyone with a Twitter account will know all the winners by the time they are announced on TV, and that basically makes the whole thing redundant, and we’d all be better off if the whole ceremony was changed. by a press release. Ok! Glad we all got caught!

More importantly, it is a proper function. A proper, old-school ceremony with audiences and people who don’t have to give their acceptance speech on Zoom. The last time this happened was in the pre-Covid haze of February 2020. I attended that ceremony. I bought a tuxedo for this. A tuxedo that, thanks to a brutal combination of social distancing and lockdown weight gain, I’ll probably never wear again. Why am I telling you this? Is it because I want you to feel sorry for me?

And to make matters worse, tonight’s BAFTAs also clash with the Critics’ Choice Awards. Does this mean that no one will show up? Put it this way, given the option of attending a nice hot awards show held down the street from where you live, or a notoriously cold awards show tucked away the entire continent, you’ll probably be living in LA.

Tonight’s show may not be full of movies loved by the masses, but if you try hard enough there can be all kinds of interesting micro-sized battles. after Love, drive my car And Ali and Ava All are impossibly strong, and probably what it takes to shove some of the bigger contenders into the dirt.
