The British Academy's 2020 awards are set to go ahead, but under new COVID-19-era restrictions
The British Academy's 2020 TV and TV craft awards are set to go ahead, but under new COVID-19-era restrictions.
Originally scheduled for the spring, both ceremonies were postponed due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, but BAFTA has now confirmed that the TV craft awards will take place on July 17 and the main TV awards will occur on July 31. Hosts have also been announced, with Stephen Mangan returning for a ninth consecutive time for the craft awards and Richard Ayoade on hosting duties for the TV awards for the first time.
The one major change will be the setting. In accordance with current coronavirus restrictions, both awards shows will now take place as closed studio, socially-distanced shows, with nominees invited to accept their awards virtually. "I am as surprised as you are that this is still going ahead,” joked Ayoade, while Mangan said that while the format might have to change a little this year, "nothing will stop me putting on black tie."In late March, BAFTA hosted its annual games awards, the first major awards show to take place during the coronavirus lockdown.
