The 73rd British Academy Film Awards
The EEBAFTAs were held on 2nd February, 2020, at The Royal Albert Hall. With much to celebrate during the evening, there were a number of references to the backlash around the lack of inclusivity seen in this year's nominations. With no nominated female Directors for the seventh year in a row, it is clear there is a long way to go to achieve gender parity, a sentiment underlined by Rebel Wilson after reading out the names of all five male filmmakers nominated, said, “I couldn’t do what they do – I just don’t have the balls.”
In response to the lack of inclusivity, high profile actors, nominees and winners all wore Primetime badges and rings in solidarity with their colleagues and friends from across the Indsutry. Here are some of the photos and highlights from the evening.
