2018 BAFTA Film Awards Nominees and Host Announced

And the nominees are..!

Just two days after the Golden Globes awards ceremony, Natalie Dormer and Letitia Wright announced the nominees for the 2018 BAFTA Film Awards and the evening’s host.

After Stephen Fry stepped down from the hosting gig last week, it has been confirmed that hosting this year’s ceremony is Joanna Lumley. Fry hosted the awards for 12 years, from 2001 to 2006 and again from 2012 to 2017. Lumley couldn’t be more excited about her new hosting gig as she said, “Honestly how exciting is this? It’s just so unbelievably thrilling. I always looked at the BAFTA Awards with Stephen Fry there forever more, so who thought I’d turn into Stephen Fry? I said yes indecently quickly. Thank you, thank you, I’ll see you on the night.”

After moving out of the Royal Opera house, the 2018 BAFTA award ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 18 at the Royal Albert Hall in London for the second year in a row.

Topping the nominees list with 12 awards is The Shape of Water, directed by Guillermo del Toro followed by Darkest Hour and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri both receiving 9 nominations.
