Celebrities who appeared in person to present awards include Tom Hiddleston, Cynthia Erivo, Phoebe Dynevor, James McAvoy, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Hugh Grant. The ceremony was delayed by two months due to the pandemic and comes just two weeks before the Oscars effectively rounds off the awards season on 26th April View this photo on Instagram instagram.com One notable thing about the 2021 awards was its inclusivity with many nominees of colour and an unprecedented four women up for the Best Director award BBC One / Via BBC iPlayer Following an outcry that last year's BAFTA's nominees were predominantly white, this year's shortlisting process has been subject to a number of changes, including a new longlist round of voting, and an increase in the number of nominations in several categories including Outstanding British Film, Best Director, and all four of the main acting fields. As a result, this year's ceremony has been the most diverse in BAFTA history, with 16 out of the 24 acting contenders being people of colour, and four of the nominees for best director being women – Shannon Murphy (Babyteeth), Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), Jasmila Žbanić (Quo Vadis, Aida?), and Sarah Gavron (Rocks).

Among others, he thanked his mother and childhood friends for their guidance. South-Korean actor Youn Yuh-jung was up for a BAFTA for her iconic performance as a no-nonsense grandmother in Minari. Yuh-jung said she was glad to win approval from the British in her speech, who she hilariously described as "snobbish".
