Award ceremonies have changed a lot in recent years but the gap between the movie industry and the general public still seems to be a big one.

There’s also talk about the ceremony itself with a look at some of the unique moments the virtual ceremony gave us and a hilarious story about how Sir Anthony Hopkins found out that he had won his award. Plus, previewing the upcoming Oscars and the positive steps that the BAFTAs have made so far in regards to inclusivity and diversity.
