As President of BAFTA, I am proud to join you this evening to celebrate the best of creative and technical excellence in the screen arts over the past year.
As well as celebrating today’s success, BAFTA is uniquely placed to inspire creativity and provide opportunities for the next generation to tell their own stories, and
I am proud that supporting talented people from all backgrounds to unlock their potential remains central to the organisation’s mission. Whether through its career development initiatives such as BAFTA Elevate, which is currently focussed on discovering and supporting aspiring producers from under-represented backgrounds, or through its ongoing bursary and scholarship programmes, which provide financial support to those starting out on their creative journey.
I share BAFTA’s belief that great storytelling can be lifechanging and I fully support its ongoing commitment to secure a more representative, inclusive and innovative future for the film, games and television industries.

HRH The Prince of Wales, kg President of BAFTA
Welcome to the 2023 EE BAFTA Film Awards...
celebrating another outstanding year in international film production. The breadth of storytellers and diversity of narrative forms this year are outstanding, represented by 239 nominees and 45 films. From our five outstanding debuts and 162 first-time nominees to a host of renowned global stars, we look forward to celebrating great talent and craft.
Recognition of excellence in filmmaking is central to BAFTA’s mission as an arts charity. We seek to inspire current and future creatives and ensure they are given every opportunity to thrive in the film, games and television industries, regardless of their background and life experience. In all activity, from our year-round talent development programme to the Awards, we strive to level the playing field. With the support and expertise of our members, we promote best practice in all areas of representation, sustainability and professionalism.
We all believe in the power of film to entertain, inform, engage and transform. Whether celebrating those at the top of their form or nurturing the talent of the future, BAFTA’s support can make a difference.
Huge congratulations to our brilliant nominees. We hope you all enjoy this night of celebration.

THE EE RISING STAR AWARD
Casting a light on the rising stars who have captured the public’s imagination
This is one of my favourite lines from 2022, delivered by Viola Davis in epic action drama The Woman King. As we welcome you all to the EE BAFTA Film Awards, it’s a great reminder of the artful storytelling we’ve seen from the intenational film industry this past year.
The Woman King also featured turns from two of our more recent EE Rising Star Award winners. John Boyega and Lashana Lynch are both brilliant examples of how far – and how fast – a career can rise after picking up the only award this evening voted for by the British public. As ever, I know much is expected of this year’s nominees. So congratulations and good luck to our shortlist: Naomi Ackie, Sheila Atim, Emma Mackey, Daryl McCormack and Aimee Lou Wood.
This is the 26th year we’re proudly celebrating film with BAFTA. We’re also out to recognise stars of the future making their first moves on camera, with EE Mini Movie Makers. There are a bunch of tools on our website (see link below) to help take kids’ living room turns to another level and inspire the youngest rising stars. Give it a go – the path to an unforgettable performance has to start somewhere!

WHAT A Piece of WORK Man IS A
from withnail anD i to your ceremony host for the evening, we give you richard e grant...
PORTRAIT: BAFTA/Charlie Clift; IMAGE: BAFTA/Jonny Birch
Withnail’s sobering recital of Hamlet’s “I have of late...”monologue is one of the most indelible moments in the seminal black comedy Withnail and I (1987), a British film packed with many memorable scenes and quotable lines. Remarkably, the portrayal of one of British cinema’s most enduring characters was an incredible debut film performance by this evening’s ceremony host, Richard E Grant.
But then inhabiting the role of a character is what acting is all about and with a screen career spanning more than 35 years and 140 roles, not to mention treading the boards a fair few times, Grant has consistently shown he has the right stuff. Charming, debonair and an entertaining raconteur, he is every bit as flamboyant and
captivating as Withnail, albeit sans the finest wines available to humanity.
It really is an impressive repertoire, covering everything from moving costume dramas and classic literary adaptations (The Age of Innocence, 1993; Twelfth Night, 1996; Gosford Park, 2001; The Iron Lady, 2011) to crowd-pleasing hits and action-packed spectaculars (L.A. Story, 1991; Jack & Sarah, 1995; Spice World, 1997; Logan, 2017; Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, 2019). He also wrote and directed his own film, Wah-Wah (2005), based on his experiences growing up in Swaziland (now Eswatini) before moving to the UK in 1982. Grant’s role as another lovable chancer, Jack Hock, in Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018) was also widely praised. His eye-grabbing performance was recognised with both BAFTA and Academy Award nominations.
About this evening, Grant said, via his popular Instagram account: “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be asked to host the ceremony. It’s an incredible privilege and a thrill. Being a starstruck Swazi boy, I can’t wait to meet all my heroes and heroines.”

Alison Hammond is perhaps an object lesson in grabbing an opportunity when it knocks. Indeed, when the chance came, Hammond not only grabbed it with both hands she gave it a big bear hug, coupled with one of her signature booming laughs no doubt. With her magnetic personality and gregarious energy, Hammond has become a fixture on British television through two decades’ worth of appearances on This Morning
After attending The Television Workshop as a child, Hammond landed a few roles on British television, including children’s comedy Palace Hill (1988-1991). Then, at the suggestion of a friend, she auditioned for the third season of reality show Big Brother (2002) and was given
a chance to shine. She may have only lasted two weeks in the BB house, but it was enough to get her noticed by a producer of This Morning, who asked if she’d be interested in taking part in a segment of the show.
Twenty years later and she’s interviewed everyone from pop sensation Britney Spears to actors Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling (the latter has 15m views on YouTube). In 2021, she was made a regular host of the show, covering challenging subjects with her natural sensitivity, charm and humour. A year later, and she was adding a BAFTA nomination to her list of achievements, for popular entertainment show I Can See Your Voice (2021-2022).
About her role as host of the all-new EE BAFTA Film Awards Studio, Hammond says: “We’re going to have a lot of fun bringing the glitz and glam of backstage to everyone watching at home around the world. From hanging out with the stars to celebrating the biggest night for cinema and joining the discussions with film fans, get ready for good vibes only.”

THE FELLOWSHIP: SANDY POWELL obe

“There’s nothing more exciting to me than knowing I’m starting work on something new and I have no idea where it’s going to take me.”

When you make your debut on a Derek Jarman film, perhaps it shouldn’t surprise that British costume designer Sandy Powell revels in taking risks. Jarman, the iconic filmmaker, artist and provocateur, and his hugely collaborative set for Caravaggio (1986) was clearly an excellent staging ground for
Powell’s trailblazing career that has spanned four decades and a cornucopia of films, styles and costumes.
Powell’s award-winning body of work includes collaborations with Martin Scorsese, Todd Haynes, Neil Jordan, Stephen Frears, Sally Potter and many more. “I make an effort to do different things,” Powell says. “I enjoy working with directors who are prepared to take risks, who want to break boundaries. That excites me the most.”
This love for the cutting edge was no doubt cultivated through her earlier work with influential
dancer and choreographer
Lindsay Kemp. “I’m a huge [David] Bowie fan and had read he learned mime from Lindsay Kemp,” she explains. “I went to see him perform in a show called Flowers in the Roundhouse in the mid-70s and it was really transformative... I knew then I wanted to be part of that world, but I didn’t really know what or how.”
A few years later, Powell instigated a meeting with Kemp by attending one of his dance classes. They became friends and he invited her to join him to work on a show at Milan’s famous La Scala, all while she was still technically a student, finishing her second year of theatre design in London. “I had no idea what I was doing,” she laughs, “but I learned a lot.”
A similarly direct approach saw her launch her film career with
Jarman. “I found his phone number and invited him to come see a show called Rococo I’d done the costumes for at the ICA,” she says. “He duly came and, rather like Lindsay Kemp, took me under his wing. The rest is history. I was very, very lucky.”
It’s clear Powell really loves her work, and she notes that, “nothing’s more exciting to me than knowing I’m starting work on something new and I have no idea where it’s going to take me... One of the most exciting parts of the job is actually getting the job, especially if it’s one you really want.”
One such dream project was Todd Haynes’ Velvet Goldmine (1998), perfect for a huge Bowie fan, which would win Powell a BAFTA. She would win again for The Favourite (2018) and The Young Victoria (2009), the latter also earning her a third Oscar to

go with Shakespeare in Love (1998) and The Aviator (2004). Now, Powell can add the Fellowship to her trophy cabinet, and, notably, she’s trailblazing at this too as the first costume designer to receive the award.
“It’s amazing to have that recognition for a body of work,” Powell says. “I’m thrilled and terrified, because I know I have to get up there and do a speech.
Before, there’s only been a onein-five chance of that, but this time there’s no getting out of it.”

COVER STORY: EVERY ONE IS
this awards programme is a one of a kind. here’s why...
You may not have realised it but this programme is unique. No two covers are the same. Created by an innovative new software called HP Spark, it features elements randomly selected from our Awards key artwork to create something new. The artwork (above) captures the array of crafts recognised at these Awards, as well as the iconic architecture of London’s Southbank.
The singular elements of the cover combine to form the full artwork, which represents the originality and creativity of individuals combining to invigorate the wider industry. With a more diverse pool of talent, the more varied, provocative and engaging that creativity will be, cultivating greater representation and inspiring more unheard voices to make great works.
14 AND THE WINNER IS
Unique
Improving representation is a priority for BAFTA. Following the BAFTA Review in 2020, we made more than 120 changes with the overall aim of levelling the playing field and ensuring more films are seen and considered. The results have been positive, as demonstrated by the range and depth of the 45 films nominated this year and the extraordinary breadth of talent represented. The changes made are iterative, and every year we take stock of the progress
we’ve made and where we need to do more. Not only through our Awards, but through our year-round learning and development initiatives, too. Films expand our understanding of the world, while sharing stories, making connections and learning from others is a fundamental part of the human equation. Tonight is about recognising the storytellers of our time and inspiring the voices of the future. Let’s celebrate them all.

CLIMATE Change
when it comes to the environment, we all have a part to play, bafta included.
We are in the midst of an environmental crisis, and we all have a responsibility to act fast to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
The innovators and creative pathfinders BAFTA celebrates tonight are on the cutting edge of creating a new and better way of making and distributing big and small screen content. Sustainability isn’t just about change, it’s about improvement – it’s about excellence.
BAFTA’s Awards ceremonies are also striving to match this standard of excellence. From food to branding materials, we want to ensure all our ceremonies are as sustainable as possible. Not only does the new venue, The Royal Festival Hall,

allow us to hold both ceremony and dinner in one place, it also means we can reuse a lot of the unseen (but essential) materials that support the stage, sets and other event areas.
We have also committed to: reusing the set at future Awards; using greener Stage V generators to reduce air pollution; investing in local suppliers and crew to limit emissions from travel; switching to LED lighting; and crafting the dinner from seasonal and locally-sourced produce, with any food waste re-used in agriculture.
There’s a long way to go, but standing still isn’t an option.
The BAFTA albert consortium was created to help the film and TV industry lead the way in tackling the most important issue of our time. Launched as a carbon calculator in 2011, albert has become a hub for the screen industries worldwide to make their content pipelines sustainable and to inspire and educate audiences. Together, with albert, we can create a better industry and build a brighter future.

Role LEADING l
in october 2022, bafta welcomed its first new ceo in more than 20 years. jane millichip reflects on the past, the present and the promise for the uk’s world-renowned academy and arts charity.
PORTRAITS: BAFTA/Sophia Spring; IMAGES: BAFTA/Carlo Paloni; Kate Green/BAFTA/Getty Images for BAFTA; BAFTA/Scott Garfitt; Lia Toby/ BAFTA/Getty Images for BAFTA
“If we can use the oxygen of awards publicity to encourage the public to go to the cinema, engage in gaming or watch TV, that’s a job well done.”
Over its 76 year history, BAFTA has grown from a bespoke arts organisation to a world-leading academy and awards body, a charity with a remit to support, develop and promote the screen arts, and a membership organisation for practitioners in film, games and television. It also has sustainability, technology and hospitality businesses under its roof.
This is a legacy that new CEO, Jane Millichip, holds in high regard: “I am keenly aware that I stand on the shoulders of the brilliant staff and non-exec advisers, past and present, who have poured their hearts and souls into BAFTA. And it’s a real honour to lead BAFTA on this next stage of the journey.”
Millichip started her career in magazine journalism, and, after writing about everything from
cars to football to media, she transitioned into television in the late 90s. Since then she has worked in production, distribution and commissioning, in the UK and New Zealand, and last year exited Sky after nine years, during which she built Sky’s production company portfolio and distribution business, later becoming chief content officer for Sky Studios. “Ultimately, storytelling is the thread that weaves through my career, as a journalist, producer and here at BAFTA,” says Millichip. “We all hope to eke out the truth about the human condition whether through news or narrative form.”
Acknowledging great storytellers through the peer recognition of the BAFTA awards system is key to its mission. “Acknowledgment of excellence

is a significant part of our purpose, and our awards also serve to inspire future filmmakers, game designers and TV creators,” says Millichip. “And if we can also use the oxygen of publicity from our awards to encourage the public to go to the cinema, engage in a progressive gaming community or watch watercooler, game-changing TV, that’s a job well done.”
Connecting the Awards to BAFTA’s charitable remit is vital for Millichip. “Core to our work as a charity is that we create programmes that provide access, development, connections, mentoring and funding for those in society who might otherwise face barriers to entry and progression, either through systemic biases or socioeconomic challenges.”
She continues: “It’s important that this work feeds into our awards system, which, following a significant review in 2020, aims to level the playing

field for all films and creators, regardless of marketing budget, background or life experience. It’s essential we remain relevant and representative for all.”
As for the future of BAFTA, can Millichip offer any thoughts on what awaits on the horizon?
“Where to begin? There’s so much to do. We will continue to rally, advocate and cheerlead for our creative community in film, games and television, both within the industry and with the wider public. We will continue to provide opportunity for the underrepresented, to provide guidance on best practice in our industries and to acknowledge great work through our Awards. We will push for carbon reduction through our sustainability arm, albert, with a progressive carbon calculation and certification programme. Oh yes, and we are working on our editorial greening initiative, Planet Placement, to encourage storytellers to adopt environmentally positive narratives.
“As I said, there’s a lot to do.”

Over the past few years, BAFTA has been re-evaluating and rationalising its children’s activity. We know from their participation in our existing programme – which includes Young Game Designers (YGD), Young Presenters and our UK-wide schools and festival roadshows – that there is an incredible appetite for the screen arts among children and young people. Learning about the crafts that go into making their favourite films, games and TV can be inspiring, and we hope will eventually translate into future industry careers.
Helping young people develop the life skills they might need for any career is crucial for their
own personal growth, which will also benefit society.
“We want to open their eyes to opportunity and potential,” says Lisa Prime, BAFTA’s head of children and young people. “Although we can’t expect every child to want to work in the screen industries, those who do will be at a significant disadvantage without a strong foundation in creativity. It’s an important skill: it’s good for developing transferable skills and thought processes, mental wellbeing and self-expression. Inspiring future career opportunities in the screen industries is at the heart of what we do, but we’d be failing a lot of children if it wasn’t about more than that.”

BAFTA has now split its YGD and Young Presenters competitions into two age groups, allowing older teens a better opportunity to ask the experts for advice. We’ve introduced a full weekend of activities around YGD and the Children & Young People’s Awards, providing unique opportunities to interact with BAFTAnominated talent. Our regional school visits have involved local screen talent, demonstrating that you don’t have to live in London
to work in film, games or television. We’re also developing a new initiative for the 10-18 age group called Young Creators. “There was a gap in our programme for teens,” states Prime, “so we’ve tried to be better at joining up the dots... Being imaginative, telling our own stories, that’s all part of being human, isn’t it? Giving children and young people the tools to do that is a big part of what we do now.”

THE BREAKTHROUGH CLUB
this year marks the 10th anniversary of one of bafta’s leading initiatives, breakthrough, supporting emerging talent to take the next rung up the ladder.
Above: The current 2022 UK cohort; Below: the original 2013 cohort
Creating something original that resonates with others is hard enough. But doing that again and again is even harder. It was to help overcome barriers that impact progression that BAFTA’s Breakthrough initiative was launched.
Over the course of a year, successful applicants receive bespoke support and advice, as well as mentorship and BAFTA membership, with all the unique perks that this provides. The initiative covers all three screen arts (film, games and television)
“They are all creatively talented people who deserve further attention.”
PHOTOS: BAFTA/Sophia Spring; BAFTA/Jessie Craig; BAFTA/Jessica Chou; BAFTA/Ian Derry; BAFTA
and actively encourages applications from talented practitioners from different backgrounds and experience. This year Breakthrough celebrates 10 years of activity, having supported more than 240 incredibly talented individuals over the course of the past decade.
“Breakthrough has always been about recognising that people sometimes struggle to translate their breakthrough moment into a long career,” says Tim Hunter, BAFTA’s executive director of learning, inclusion policy and membership. “It can be tricky – you get all this attention around being a new voice, but then how do you translate that into other opportunities? We wanted to support those people to do that, as well as make sure they are diverse and from different backgrounds... They are all creatively talented people who deserve further attention.”
The initiative has evolved over the years, and having originally launched in the UK in 2013 is now active in the US and India, too. The crafts represented have also expanded. In the early years, applications were dominated by performers and producers, perhaps because they are more experienced at pitching their abilities to others.
As the initiative has grown within the screen industries’ consciousness, so too have the recommendations, with represented crafts now including editors, writers, quality analysts, cinematographers, hair and make-up artists, programmers, technical artists and more.
“Breakthrough was more about making introductions at the start,” explains Hunter. “Now we offer more pastoral care, with support for such things as networking skills, resilience,
confidence building. We realised not everybody is as equally able to take the opportunities that Breakthrough presents. They may have imposter syndrome or be a naturally shy person who finds networking difficult.
“Our offer is very bespoke: we sit down with each of them individually at the beginning and ask them what their particular
barriers to progression are. It’s about more than just being in the right room with the right people. We want them to think of BAFTA as their mentor, who can offer a supportive hand as well as open our contacts book to help propel their careers to the next level.”

bafta elevate is not about hitting targets or silencing critics. it’s about giving some incredibly talented and experienced creatives a platform to secure gainful employment.
There’s nothing quite like BAFTA Elevate, an industrylevel professional development and leadership programme created to help support individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. Since its launch five years ago, the initiative has spotlighted 17 women directors, 18 writers, 21 actors and, most recently, 20 producers. It’s an extraordinary array of talent, who have between five and 20 years of craft experience each, but have faced barriers to progression.
“Elevate is the only programme of its kind that supports people at that level,” explains Mariayah Kaderbhai, BAFTA’s head of programmes. It gives them real tangible skills, as well as career and personal development. It’s also an invaluable peer-to-peer network for participants.”
The area of focus chosen for support is decided after extensive research, including conversations with industry experts, organisations, production companies, broadcasters and others, who pinpoint various
factors that need addressing, as well as pulling from the rich data BAFTA gathers from the BFI Diversity Standards’ inclusion in our Awards eligibility. We look at everything from what barriers exist and what stage of career is impacted to areas of representation that are in greater need of attention and support. Elevate also involves key consultants, advocates and mentors who help shape the programme for the cohort.
The ultimate aim is to get all of the Elevate participants, past and present, more opportunities for work. Kaderbhai sums it up best: “Look at the current cohort. Look at the previous cohort. Look at their work. Employ them. Interview them. Pay it forward. They are a ready-to-hire group, who have a level of experience that should mean they are in consistent work. Give them the opportunity. It only makes for a far more inclusive, interesting and imaginative workforce.”
