Rebel Wilson to host BAFTA Awards

Rebel Wilson will host the 2022 BAFTA Awards(Film), due to be held on Sunday March 13 at the Royal Albert Hall.

It follows her stealing the show with gags when she presented in 2020.

“I am very honoured to be hosting the EE British Academy Film Awards in March, where Covid will no longer exist because it will clearly have been canceled by then,” said Wilson. “It’s going to be so much fun! I don’t wanna put any pressure on this – I know I’m not going to be funny because I am no longer fat. And besides, I’m not going to ‘sweat-it’ with nerves because I have a peculiar medical condition where I can’t sweat…or cause offense to people because of my adorable Australian accent.

“So basically I’ll just be there to hang out with Dame Judi Dench and together we’ll both try and bond with Daniel Craig. And yes, I do mean ‘bond’. This show will be an anniversary celebration of some important British film franchises such as ‘Harry Potter’ and not such as ‘Cats.’ Everybody’s going to love it, I’m sure! See you guys in March!”

Nominations will be revealed on Feb. 3rd.

I’ve recently gone through a huge transformation so hopefully JK Rowling approves of me hosting the 2022 @BAFTA ‘s 🤷‍♀️
