What's the difference between the Baftas and the Oscars?
The British Academy Film Awards is an annual awards show hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to celebrate the best British and global film contributions.
The awards ceremony has been held at the Royal Albert Hall since 2017, with BAFTA recognising outstanding achievements in 25 film-related categories, including Best Film, Best Direction and Best Actor and Actress in a Leading Role.
The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, are regarded as the most prestigious awards in the film industry and the ceremony takes place every year in Hollywood.
Cinematic achievements are judged and voted on by the Academy's membership, with winners presented with a gold 'Academy Award of Merit' trophy as the prize.
Winners are chosen from 24 categories, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Actress, Best Directing and Best Original Screenplay.
When did the Baftas first start?
BAFTA was formed in 1947 by a group of eight directors and other important figures in the British film industry.
The first awards ceremony took place two years later in May 1949 at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square.
The Best Years of Our Life won Best Film and Odd Man Out won Best British Film.
When did the Oscars first start?
The first Oscars ceremony took place in May 1929, to honour the best films of 1927 and 1928.
The ceremony took place at a private dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles and was hosted by American actor and director Douglas Fairbanks.
When are the Baftas 2022?
The 75th British Academy Film Awards will be held this weekend at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
