LONDON (AP) — Celebrity attendees gathered in London on Sunday evening for the prestigious British Academy Film Awards ceremony, an important precursor to the Academy Awards scheduled for next month.
The ceremony, formally known as the EE BAFTA Film Awards, features winners selected by thousands of British academy members comprised of film industry professionals. However, one category stands apart from the rest — the Rising Star Award — which allows the general public to vote from a predetermined list of candidates.
Those honored during the ceremony will receive the distinctive bronze mask trophy that has become synonymous with BAFTA recognition.
The event showcased numerous photo opportunities as celebrities walked the red carpet before the awards presentation.
