Ove two nights, Saturday and Sunday, The 74th British Academy Film Awards handed out their awards for all the productions that came out during the pandemic.
Presenter Clara Amfo kicked off the ceremony at Royal Albert Hall with a tribute to the recently passed Prince Philip. She said, "On behalf of BAFTA, we are extremely saddened by the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, on Friday. The Duke was BAFTA’s very first president over 60 years ago and was the first of a line of royal patronage all the way through to BAFTA’s current president, his grandson, the Duke of Cambridge."
"It was Prince Philip and Her Majesty the Queen’s support throughout these years that in many ways allowed BAFTA, a leading charity in the arts, to continue in difficult times and to be here today in 2021. The Duke of Edinburgh occupies a very special place in BAFTA history and he will be missed. Our thoughts are with his family." Prince William usually joins the ceremony but canceled his public duties after his grandfather's passing.
