Stephen Fry has been announced as the official host of the 2015 BAFTA award ceremony on 8th February at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden.
The EE British Academy Film Awards is one of the biggest dates in film each year, and it certainly wouldn’t be the same without the veteran BAFTA presenter. 2015 will mark the tenth time national treasure Fry has hosted the ceremony. Last year, Fry told attendees the event was filled with “faces so familiar, you want to lick them.”
Stephen Fry said: "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.

Broadcast exclusively on BBC1 as always, the ceremony will be preceded by a red carpet show on BBC3 and complimented by extended coverage online with BAFTA.
BAFTA nominations will be announced on 9th January.
