BAFTA has unveiled a steering committee to lead its 'thorough review' into issues of diversity. More details:
The British Academy plans a"thorough review" after the diversity crisis that erupted following the BAFTA film nominations in January.
The group – which is set meet over video conference and phone consultations due to current conditions in the COVID-19 pandemic – will consider the processes and conditions that contributed to the situation in January, while also reviewing the latest available research into systemic issues in the industry. Although BAFTA's film awards will be the primary focus, it is also set to take into account the television, television craft and games awards.
The review – which was announced by the Academy in January following the media fallout of the BAFTA nominations – will cover the nominations and voting process, the role of distributors, the campaigning process, and the makeup of BAFTA’s membership and, according to BAFTA, "ultimately how these processes and conditions might be improved with solutions can help drive positive change in the wider industry.
