JOANNA LUMLEY TO HOST THE BAFTA’S T


he 71st British Academy Film Awards will be held at The Royal Albert Hall on the 18th of February, presented by Joanna Lumley, who is taking over from the legendary Steven Fry. Lumley will be


the first solo woman to host the BAFTA’s in twenty years and it should be considered an unmissable event, if only to see Joanna Lumley let loose on the stars of stage and screen. Expect a fusion of her own inimitable charm and warmth with the sharp tongue of Patsy from AbFab.

The Shape Of Water has the most nominations, up for 12 awards, but the BAFTA’s are not always predictable, especially when there are so many strong British film contenders, such as Dunkirk and Darkest Hour, not to mention Paddington 2 that garnered such strong critical acclaim as well as box office success. High Grant has only won one BAFTA before, could he gain a second for Best Supporting Actor? Whoever wins this year, it is bound to be a star studded and humorous occasion with Joanna Lumley at the helm.
