LONDON - The British Academy of Film and Television Arts will celebrate the best of television broadcast in Britain during 2019 in a live show at the end of July - though with stars and studio audience absent.
"We've had over 500 entries this year... it was really fiercely contested," Bafta chairman Krishnendu Majumdar told Reuters TV. As things stand with the coronavirus pandemic, nominees are expected to film their speeches rather than appear in person and there are no plans for a big audience. However, there will be a live element to the BBC show, which actor and filmmaker Richard Ayoade will present.
