Host and Presenters of BAFTA
Scottish actor David Tennant will be overseeing the UK’s biggest night for films and creative talents as he serves as the witty host for the event. David has had a loyal fanbase since his tenth incarnation in the popular sci-fi series Doctor Who.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone also brings glory and a proud moment for India as she will be presenting the awards. She expressed gratitude on her social media account for the same. This is not the first time Deepika has been bestowed with international honour; she presented an award at the Oscar Awards last year. Besides Deepika, other presenters for the ceremony include David Beckham, Hugh Grant, Dua Lipa, Dev Patel, Cate Blanchett, and Himesh Patel. However, the categories in which they present them remain unknown.
Notably, Christopher Nolan’s period film Oppenheimer has dominated the major nominations in various categories, followed closely by Martin Scorsese’s epic crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon and Yorgos Lanthimos’ sci-fi novel Poor Things, as per the nominations that were announced on January 18.
