Who will receive the Bafta Fellowship?

Actor, writer and director Samathan Morton is the recipient of this year’s BAFTA Fellowship Award, a prize celebrating outstanding and exceptional contributions to film, games or television.

Morton’s work spans projects as varied as Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report, Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York and Darren Aronofsky's The Whale.

The award-winning Sandy Powell took home the Bafta Fellowship Award in 2022, making history as the first costume designer to ever bag the award.

Her work can be seen in projects like Shakespeare in Love, The Favourite and Mary Poppins Returns. Who will take home the prize in 2024? Only time will tell.

Elsewhere, we know that film curator and writer June Givanni will receive a special BAFTA award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema for her extensive work programming and shining a light on to African and African diaspora cinema.

In particular, Givanni is known for being the founder of The June Givanni PanAfrican Archive which is a volunteer-led programme dedicated to preserving and restoring PanAfrican cinema and culture which has been running for over 40 years.

The 2024 Bafta Film Awards will take place on Sunday, 18 February from 7pm on BBC and BBC iPlayer.
