BAFTA Sets 2024 Film Awards Date

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) today shared the timeline for its 2024 awards cycle, with its 2024 Film Awards set for Sunday, February 18.

The ceremony will unspool a full three weeks before the Oscars, which are set for March 10, and will once again take place during the Berlin Film Festival, which runs February 15-25.
