The British Academy has announced some intriguing new details about their long-awaited 2020 TV awards ceremony, with the special socially-distanced BAFTA ceremony set to be joined by a varied collection of celebrities to present the coveted awards alongside main host Richard Ayoade.
According to BAFTA, some presenters will award the prizes from the studio including Adrian Lester, Normal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, Greg Davies, Himesh Patel, Jessica Hynes, Gangs of London’s Joe Cole and Sope Dirisu, Stacey Dooley and Nina Sosonya.
Meanwhile, a host of other famous faces – including Billy Porter, Chris O’Dowd, David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Ruth Madeley, Jeff Goldblum and Muppets stars Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy – will present virtually via videolink, meaning the age of Zoom TV isn’t quite over yet. All nominees and winners will also be watching from home.
The Virgin Media BAFTAs will air on Friday, 31 July from 7 PM BST on BBC One.
