Where is the 2022 Baftas venue?

This year’s ceremony will take place in London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Traditionally, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have attended the Baftas together. It has yet to be confirmed whether they will attend this year’s ceremony.

Who will host the 2022 Baftas?

Australian comedian and actor Rebel Wilson will host.

In 2020, Wilson has the audience in stitches while announcing the award for best director – so fans have their hopes up for her return as host.
