The EE British Academy Film Awards will take place on Sunday 14 February 2016 and will be held for the tenth year running at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

Also of note: as Redmayne was a winner at last year's Golden Globe awards, he is set to attend and present at this Sunday's event, where he is also nominated for his work in The Danish Girl. More coverage on that to come this weekend.
