The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in film, television, and games. Established in 1947, the awards recognize excellence in various categories, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor. Winning a BAFTA is considered a prestigious honor in the entertainment industry. BAFTA winners are selected by members of the academy, which includes professionals from the film and television sectors. The awards ceremony is held annually, typically in February, and serves as a precursor to other major awards, such as the Academy Awards (Oscars).
