BAFTA’s bosses have stood by the involvement of juries across key categories of the org’s film awards, but note that annual reviews will continue to interrogate and potentially refine the process. …
, chair of the BAFTA Film committee, added: “It’s also really important to note that the juries aren’t picking people out of every single entrant. They’re only picking out of the very top voted performances, directors, films, etc. in their categories. So they’re still selecting from what all of our membership in the specific chapters consider to be excellent.”
The BAFTAs are now three years — and a second awards cycle — into implementing the results of its 2020 diversity review, which made a sweeping 120 changes to the way the awards and organization are run. The fact that 14 of the 24 nominees in the performance categories received their first BAFTA Film nomination this year is a clear reflection of those changes.
The 2023 awards will be the final awards season foray for Majumdar, who steps down this summer. The executive, who runs the company Me + You Productions, was instrumental in broadening BAFTA’s membership and improving its diversity. He spearheaded the ground-breaking 2020 review of the org and its awards functions.
