On Monday UKTV will screen the British Film Awards, hosted by David Tennant at the Royal Festival Hall, but the broadcast will not be live to air in Australia.

The awards are renowned for playing to an impressive line-up of stars and are regarded as an important indicator of the frontrunners for the Academy Awards.

Australians nominated included a ‘leading actress’ nod for Australian Margot Robbie for her role in Barbie, Jacob Elordi being nominated for ‘supporting actor’ for Saltburn as well as in the ‘rising star awards’, and Tony McNamara will be hoping to take home the ‘adapted screenplay’ award for Poor Things.
