From strength to strength
It has been another record-breaking 12 months for the British Academy Awards ceremonies. And in an economic environment that has broken records of the wrong kind, that really is saying something

The Kids' Vote at the EA British Academy Children's Awards received twice as many votes as the previous year, and there was a 60% rise in entries for the Me & My Movie Award. The interest in the Orange British Academy Film Awards took another giant leap, and we took over extra space at the Royal Opera House to allow the public to watch the Awards live and hear from the winners as they came off stage. Almost 10,000 people watched the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards live, online. At the Craft Awards we announced the winner of the very first BAFTA/BBC Blast Screen Skills competition and we welcomed Philips as title sponsor and You Tube as Audience Award sponsor to the Television Awards.

All this reflects our commitment to maintaining the quality and integrity of our Awards, as well as increasing access to them. Each ceremony represents the culmination of a year's planning; each Award crowns years of work and dedication. And each year it gets harder to win one. A BAFTA mask is an award like no other, and every winner is an inspiration.

The BAFTA LA Awards

5 November 2009
BAFTA/LA, the Academy's presence in Hollywood, continues to bring together the West Coast’s Film and Television communities and carry out valuable education and outreach works in the community at large. Its showpiece event, each November, is the BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards ceremony, at which emerging and established individuals are honoured for their contributions to advancing the entertainment arts.

A stellar audience gathered at the Hyatt Regency in Century Plaza to acclaim two Hollywood greats: Robert De Niro was presented with the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film, and Kirk Douglas received the Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Filmed Entertainment.

Also honoured were Danny Boyle (John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Artistic Excellence in Directing), Colin Firth (BAFTA/LA Volvo Humanitarian Award) and Emily Blunt (Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year).

The BAFTA Scotland Awards

8 November 2009
A full house turned out for the BAFTA Scotland Awards ceremony and dinner at a spectacular new venue: the Glasgow Science Centre, located in the city's media district on the banks of the Clyde.

The production at the centre of the evening was the political satire, In The Loop: local boy Armando Iannucci picked up the main writing and directing awards and Peter Capaldi won Best Acting Performance in a Film. Robert Carlyle (The Unloved) and Daniela Nardini (New Town) both beat off strong competition to pick up the two Acting Performance in TV awards. The acclaimed "Edinburgh noir" debut from director Justin Molotnikov, Crying With Laughter, came away with the Feature Film award.

BAFTA Scotland also recognises other debuts and the best work by newcomers with its New Talent Awards, which took place at the Mitchell Theatre, Glasgow on 19 March. The NTAs attract a high standard of work in film and video games from Scottish universities, and reward the most promising Scots on television. Among the winners were up-and-coming actor Eric Robertson (Narrow Gauge), 17-year-old film director Michael Ferns (Kirk!), and the team of game designers from University of Abertay, Dundee that created SHRuNK!

EA British Academy Children's Awards

29 November 2009
The threat to original children's television production that has emerged in recent years seems to have engendered a sense of community and purpose among programme-makers. The EA British Academy Children's Awards continues to offer the best evidence of this, gaining stature every year thanks to the combined efforts of BAFTA's Children’s Committee and our partners.

Among the winners on the night, hosted by dynamic duo Dick and Dom, were Nick Jr (Channel of the Year), Coraline (Feature Film), LittleBigPlanet (Video Game), BBC2's Off By Heart (Learning, Primary) and Big and Small Online (Interactive). EA was a fantastic title sponsor once again.

The CBBC Me & My Movie Award in association with BAFTA drew 800 entries from 6-14-year-old short filmmakers – 300 more than in 2008. Workshops around the country and an ongoing commitment from previous years' entrants swelled the interest in the competition, which was won – following a stringent judging process culminating in a final decision from a BAFTA 'super jury' – by Lauren from the Isle of Man, with her ingenious animation, Vern's Vacation.

The Awards offer graphic proof of the appetite among children for television, film and other media. Under-14s came out in force in the weeks leading up to the ceremony to make their voice heard in the BAFTA Kids' Vote, which invited children to choose the best programme, film, game and website of the year.

More than 425,000 votes were cast – double the number of 2008 – by almost 160,000 unique voters. Producers and broadcasters made available a mass of downloadable content that visitors to the Kids' Vote site could access by playing the brilliant, animated 'Grab-a-Goody' game. Disney’s Hannah Montana picked up the film and television awards, while Wii Sports Resort was the winner in the game category and Club Penguin won best website.

One more important award was made by BAFTA, at the First Light Awards in March. We were partners in the new First Light Open Access Award, which invited 13-19-year-olds to submit their short films for consideration by a BAFTA panel. First Light provides funding for young people from all backgrounds to invest in media projects. The winner from a three-strong shortlist was decided by a public vote: AWOL by Megan Salter, a 'captivating film', in the words of the jury. We look forward to further collaborations with First Light in the future.

Orange British Academy Film Awards

21 February 2010
The Royal Opera House once again played host to movie industry royalty and film's freshest talent. This year, we were proud to welcome HRH Prince William of Wales. In his first official duty as the Academy's President, he won the warmest of receptions.

In the audience were a record number of award nominees, many jetting in from around the world for the occasion, and a few forced by flight delays into a dash from Heathrow. They witnessed high drama – The Hurt Locker collecting six awards including Best Film, Director and Original Screenplay, Vanessa Redgrave’s acceptance from Prince William of the Academy Fellowship – and a procession of star presenters, including Robert Pattinson, Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet, Matt Dillon, Dustin Hoffman, Uma Thurman, Guy Pearce and Colin Firth, all ably marshalled by Jonathan Ross.

The lure of the occasion remained strong for sponsors and partners, despite the economic gloom. It was the 13th year as title sponsor for Orange, and British Airways launched a three-year partnership with us. Loyal backing from sponsors such as Audi, Cineworld, CBS Outdoor, Daily Telegraph, HSPG, Lancôme, M.A.C Cosmetics and Champagne Taittinger helped to make 2010 one of our most successful ever Film Awards.

Nearly 400 members of the public packed the Linbury Studio next door to enjoy a live broadcast and hear from winners as soon as they had stepped off the main stage.

Our video packages of red carpet and backstage interviews, and ceremony highlights on our website received more than 200,000 views in the 24 hours after the event, drawing thousands of visitors to bafta.org for the first time and driving traffic to other parts of the site. On television, an average audience of 3.6 million watched the main highlights show on BBC One.

As digital platforms become a fixture in all our lives, the Film Awards took a first step towards harnessing the new technology. A pilot scheme gave voting members the opportunity to download films nominated in the category of Film Not in the English Language.

GAME British Academy Video Games Awards

19 March 2010
Guests and nominees received the full star treatment on arrival at the Video Games Awards: red carpet, flashing lights from a cordoned-off press zone, filmed interviews with guests as they arrived... It all served to reinforce our message that excellence in game production is right up there on a par with film and television.

Underlining that fact was the presence of Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the gaming industry's bona fide legends. He was there to receive the Academy Fellowship in recognition of his work as Nintendo’s creator-in-chief, with design credits that read like a who’s who of gaming, including Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Nintendogs and Wii Music.

There to see the man they call 'the father of modern video games' was an audience packed with nominees. Around 10,000 people watched the evening unfold on a live webcast on bafta.org. Among the other stars of the evening were Evan Welles and Christophe Balestra, who picked up four BAFTAs for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Story, Action, Original Score and Use of Audio), and the development team behind Batman: Arkham Asylum that won the coveted Best Game mask.

For the GAME Award of 2009, the public voted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 into the winning position. And a five-strong team from Scotland, the Butterflyers, collected the BAFTA Ones to Watch Award in association with Dare To Be Digital for their innovative platform game, SHRuNK! The award, in its third year, was created to encourage and reward innovation from emerging games designers.

British Academy Television Craft Awards

23 May 2010
Our invitation to members in September to put their names forward for inclusion on juries for the Television Craft (and Children's) Awards met with a fantastic response, and the combination of fresh points of view on the judging panels and the availability of online viewing of entries at the voting stage gave an exciting edge to the nominations of behind-the-scenes talent.

There was no shortage of fresh points of view at the London Hilton, either. Four teenage creatives were nominated for the inaugural BBC Blast and BAFTA Screen-Skills Award, having been selected by a BAFTA jury from a group of eight bursary winners in four categories: Harriet Beaney (scriptwriter), Jack Crocker (editor), Joe Reed (composer) and Sam Shetabi (director of photography). It was DOP Sam who finally won out, for Cubicle, an energetic, edgy music video shot around London at night.

From first-timers to past masters of the small screen: Coronation Street's production team was honoured with this year's Special Award, in recognition of 50 years of outstanding creative teamwork and nurturing of talent. Michael Apted, Paul Abbott, Jack Rosenthal, Paula Milne, John Finch and Peter Eckersley are just some of the greats who have emerged from the Corrie ranks over the years.

Mo, Channel 4's biopic of the late Mo Mowlam, was one of the big winners of the evening, picking up the awards for Director: Fiction, Editing: Fiction and Make-Up & Hair Design. The other multi-award winner was Red Riding, the series of adaptations of David Peace’s novel trilogy, which won in Costume Design (for the instalment set in 1974) and Photography & Lighting: Fiction (for the 1983 episode).

The Entertainment Production Team award, created this year to recognise the skill and innovation that goes into producing television’s most popular shows, went to The X Factor, whose polish, glamour and own indefinable ingredient saw off competition from The Apprentice, Top Gear and Britain's Got Talent.

The BAFTA Cymru Awards

23 May 2010
While the Craft Awards were being bestowed in London, Cardiff was enjoying its own night of the stars at the Wales Millennium Centre, with BAFTA Cymru's 19th Annual Awards for Film, Television and Interactive Media.

Co-hosts Cerys Matthews and Aled Jones led the celebration of Welsh talent for the audience of guests, professionals and, for the third year, members of the public. One of the highlights was the presentation of the Siân Phillips Award to Rob Brydon: "I've not won an award in Wales since 1984 – Porthcawl Comprehensive Drama Student of The Year – so I'm both delighted and relieved this fallow spell has come to an end."

The BAFTA Cymru Lifetime Achievement Award honoured Dr Geraint Stanley Jones CBE, chairman of Sgrîn Cymru, the Welsh media agency. Among the category winners were Torchwood (Best Drama Series for Television), One Family In Wales (Best News & Current Affairs), A Bit Of Tom Jones (Best Film/Drama) and Ryan A Ronnie, winner of four categories; best actor, best director of a film/drama, screenwriter and photography direction.

British Academy Awards

6 June 2010
Perhaps, with the World Cup just days away, the viewing public could identify a little closer with the mixture of anticipation and trepidation with which nominees approached this year’s Television Awards. Assigning the ceremony to its new calendar slot of early June allowed more breathing space within the Awards season, easing congestion with voting and event organisation, and added a more summery air to proceedings on the red carpet outside the London Palladium.

As the Television Awards confirm year after year, the UK is a world-beater in the talent it brings to the small screen, from classically-trained actors to Saturday night TV frontmen to the best producers in the business. There were more entries than ever for this year’s Awards – a remarkable fact in itself, given the state of the economy – and three new categories recognising individual performers.

Julie Walters won her sixth competitive BAFTA for her lead performance in Mo, making her the second most rewarded actress in BAFTA's history, after Judi Dench. Kenneth Branagh picked up the Leading Actor award, his first for acting, for Wallander, while Matthew McFadyen (Criminal Justice) and Rebecca Hall (Red Riding 1974) won the new Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress awards. The one multiple award-winner was The Thick Of It, which topped the Situation Comedy category and whose stars Peter Capaldi and Rebecca Front won the newly-created Male and Female Performance in a Comedy awards.

After five previous nominations in the Entertainment Performance category and no wins, Ant and Dec finally triumphed, and later presented the Special Award to their Britain's Got Talent boss, Simon Cowell, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry and support of new talent. Arts champion and veteran broadcaster Melvyn Bragg was awarded the Academy Fellowship, closing the ceremony with an impassioned speech about the importance of supporting the arts.

Among the other award-winners were The Armstrong and Miller Show (Comedy Programme), Mad Men (International) and The Inbetweeners, which won the YouTube Audience Award after thousands of TV fans cast their vote through our YouTube channel.

Archive

From paper to pixels
The BAFTA Archive is an extraordinary resource, holding photography and audio dating back to the Academy's earliest days, video of Awards ceremonies from the 1960s onwards, plus publications and committee records that offer fascinating insights into BAFTA’s growth and development.

A visit to www.bafta.org/archive/ offers a tantalising glimpse of what's in our store. Our ambition is to digitally duplicate everything we have so that much more can be enjoyed by members and the public.

Supported in 2009 by the David Lean BAFTA Foundation, we have now digitised 40% of our photographic and video archive and almost 60% of our audio material. Alongside the digitisation programme, we also bid for and won grants for two projects from the Technology Strategy Board. Both projects are feasibility studies addressing issues that face content owners like BAFTA in the UK’s push for growth in the communications industries, known as Digital Britain.

We have also curated seven new exhibitions at 195 Piccadilly including the stunning portraiture taken by Ellis Parrinder at our Film Awards in 2009, and taken forward our dialogue with national exhibition partners who we hope will help BAFTA's exhibitions and archive to reach a wide public audience in future. We have also rekindled our Heritage Interview programme through which we capture the memories of important Academy and industry craftsmen and women for the benefit of future generations.

Fundraising & Corporate Development

Alternative sources
The renewal of our charitable mission following the major strategic review of 2005-06 and our commitment to learning and events mean we now have a platform to seek new sources of funding. In the last 12 months, we have been developing our fundraising capacity, in order to attract new donors and supporters alongside our commercial partners and sponsors.

BAFTA now embodies a cause – the development of opportunities in our industries for new creative talent – that is attractive to charitable donors such as foundations, trusts and philanthropists. We want to make a real difference to the lives of people who might not otherwise get the chance to learn, develop their talent and launch a career. And there are others who want to make that difference, too.

In 2009, we developed a fundraising strategy that will open up these new streams of support for specific, discreet projects. This year, we took the first step in that plan and appointed our first Head of Fundraising. And we saw the strategy quickly bear fruit in the form of a grant from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation to support the BAFTA and Media Trust Mentoring Scheme, and two grants from the Technology Strategy Board for Archive projects. We will continue to step up our fundraising activities with trusts and foundations in the next 12 months.

Given the economic climate, our sponsors and partners have shown great loyalty and commitment to continue their association with the BAFTA brand. We are lucky to have so many respected and illustrious brands on board.

Our long-standing loyal partners such as Orange, Audi, Taittinger and HSPG are continually complemented by our new additions, including many of our strategic partners such as iTunes, YouTube, Brightcove and TCM. This incredible balance of partners not only provides financial stability but also enables us to touch audiences way beyond our natural reach. New partner British Airways for example, provide a crucial allowance of flights throughout the year, but also broadcast their association with us on-board their flights.

Evian, Vedett & Villa Maria have also joined us during the past year, each providing us with vital stock to ensure there’s never a dry mouth in the house at any of our key events. In February 2010, Hotel Chocolat worked with Asprey providing the most exquisite chocolate shop for our Film Awards nominees at the Official Nominees Party, whilst Taittinger and Grey Goose Vodka provided delicious cocktails.

From hotels, to cars, to paper and champagne, the list of technical partners is lengthy. Barco and Dolby together create one of the best audio visual experiences at the Princess Anne Theatre. Philips are now in the their second year of supporting the TV Awards and our style partners; Lancôme, Charles Worthington, Escada, M.A.C, Aquascutum and the British Fashion Council amongst others, truly make our red carpets some of the most glamorous stretches of runway in the world.

Needless to say, each one of our 60 plus partners is as important as the next and we hope that with time and the evolution of our current and future projects, our portfolio will continue to grow.
