The BAFTA Film Awards being postponed follows the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony being delayed from Feb. 28, 2021, to April 25, 2021
The British Academy's 2021 film awards, which were postponed earlier this year due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, have been pushed to just ahead of the Academy Awards next year.
On Monday, BAFTA said next year’s British Academy Film Awards will be held on Sunday April 11 2021, allowing the U.K. awards show to remain among the last of the Oscar precursor award shows. The change from the earlier announced date of Feb. 14 allows for an extended eligibility period. Further details on the ceremony will be announced later in the year by the British Academy. "The date for the 2022 Film Awards, announced last year as 13 February, is currently under consideration as part of the awards review , and any changes will be published once the review has been completed, alongside other findings and recommendations," the British Academy added in a statement.
