BAFTA Film Awards airs live Saturday, February 12 at 3:10 p.m. ET and re airs at 9:00p.m. ET/PT, from London England. BAFTA Red Carpet Special is a BBC America original production will air before the re airs BAFTA Film Awards and will start a half an hour earlier (8:30) complete with red carpet interviews.

Our award shows might take a note from the BAFTA, since it’s commercial-free. Yes that’s right commercial-free!

Just like our award shows here in the U.S., BAFTA is attended by biggest stars and is considered a barometer of who will walk away with the golden Oscar. BAFTA is hosted by Tim Muffett (BBC Liquid News).

Last year [i]The Lord of the Rings, Return of the King[/i] swept the awards and Renee Zellweger won best supporting actress before going to Hollywood to pick up of her Oscar.

I learned about this award show just recently and I am interested in seeing who wins this compared to the Oscars this year. So tune into the BAFTA’s and see what you think of this award show premiering February 12 at 3:10 p.m., ET and re airs at 9:00p.m. ET/PT, from London England. BAFTA Red Carpet Special is a BBC America original production will air before the re aired BAFTA Film Awards and will start a half an hour earlier (8:30) complete with red carpet interviews.
