BritBox, the subscription streaming service from BBC Studios and ITV, offering the best collection of unmissable streaming British entertainment, will be bringing the 75th EE British Academy Film Awards to BritBox audiences in South Africa. BritBox and BAFTA first forged a relationship in 2018 to bring the Britannia Awards live to North American audiences and now, for the first time ever, the EE British Academy Film Awards will be available for streaming in South Africa, the US and Canada on March 13, 2022, live with the UK.
The EE British Academy Film Awards, the biggest night in British film, will be taking place at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall on Sunday March 13, 2022. Rebel Wilson will host this year’s Film Awards ceremony which celebrates the very best of British and international film talent.
“BAFTA has been incredible to work with in the past,” states Emily Powers, Head of BritBox North America. “Being home to the largest collection of British entertainment, we only thought it natural to bring the biggest awards show to our BritBox viewers.”
“We are delighted to work with BritBox so audiences in South Africa can tune into this year’s ceremony to see who wins a BAFTA, and join us in celebrating the very best in film,” Emma Baehr, BAFTA’s Executive Director of Awards and Content said. “With Rebel Wilson hosting in front of an auditorium packed full of famous faces, it promises to be a truly unmissable show.”
