The night will end for the first time in its history with the winners for the final four categories-best actor, best actress, best director, and best film-being announced live on air.

Kensington Palace confirmed that the Prince and Princess of Wales will also attend the BAFTAs ceremony. They will also meet the night's winners and the EE Rising Star Award nominees.
