The most important night in British film is officially here, with the Bafta Film Awards 2024 coming to London's Royal Festival Hall tonight (February 18). Celebrities and Hollywood A-Listers have already been celebrating, with plenty of opportunities to let loose ahead of the award ceremony.
Last night, the EE BAFTA Film Awards Nominees’ Party, supported by Bulgari, took place at the National Gallery in London’s Trafalgar Square, bringing together talent from in-front-of and behind-the-screen.
Big names who attended included Paul Mescal, Margot Robbie, Fantasia Barrino, Emerald Fennell, Paul Giamatti, Sandra Hüller, Samantha Morton, Rosamund Pike, Dominic Sessa among a host of others. Whilst Bafta host David Tennant, red carpet hosts Clara and Alex Zane and the BAFTA social media host Zainab Jiwa were also in attendance.
Guests were kept entertained by DJ Zara Martin, where they danced the night away surrounded by some of the world’s most iconic paintings.
