Festivitatea de decernare a premiilor BAFTA, editia 2007, spectacol transmis integral de la Londra, va fi difuzata in direct la HBO duminica, 11 februarie, de la ora 22.00. Inaugurate imediat dupa razboi, in 1947, Premiile Academiei Britanice de Film au fost privite, intotdeauna, drept unul dintre cele mai importante evenimente cinematografice internationale, la paritate aproape cu Oscarurile yankee. Reprezentanti marcanti ai celei de-a saptea arte sunt celebrati si recompensati anual. Si anul acesta, votantii (toti membrii Academiei Britanice) vor avea o misiune extrem de dificila in ceea ce priveste alegerea premiantilor.
