BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip also said: "We are over the moon that David Tennant will be our host for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards. He is deservedly beloved by British and international audiences, alike. His warmth, charm, and mischievous wit will make it a must-watch show next month for our guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home.
“The EE BAFTA Film Awards recognize exceptional films and the talented people who make them. More than 7500 of our BAFTA members – creatives from all corners of the British and global film industry – have been voting over the holidays, and we will be publishing their chosen longlists later [on Friday]. We hope it will inspire people to watch more films and encourage everyone to join in the conversation on who should win a BAFTA next month.”
Tennant takes over from Saltburn star Richard E Grant and This Morning's Alison Hammond, who hosted the BAFTA Film Awards in 2023.
Nominations will be announced by former EE Rising Star Award nominees Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir on January 18, 2024.
