Stephen Fry Confirmed To Host EE British Academy Film Awards 2015 We’re happy to share the news that the wonderful Mr Stephen Fry has been confirmed to return and host the EE British Academy Film Awards on 8th February 2015 at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden, it’ll be the 10th time Fry has hosted the ceremony and we think he’s a perfect choice, the great man had this to say: “Hosting the Film Awards has always been a highlight of my year. The opportunity to help the Academy promote filmmaking and encourage cinema-going means a lot to me. I’ve met many heroes and had the honour of introducing many young talents that are now busy forging remarkable careers for themselves. Seeing the photos from each year back I can chart my bewildering changes in weight too…” We’re excited to announce that we’ll be providing all the coverage we can direct from the event, plus the ceremony will be broadcast exclusively on BBC One in the UK and in all major territories around the world.
