Netflix had plans to host a star-studded afterparty at the renowned Chiltern Firehouse following the Bafta awards. However, due to an unfortunate fire that ravaged the original venue, Netflix has had to make a last-minute change in location. The fire, which occurred on Valentine's Day, resulted in the evacuation of around 100 people and has left the Chiltern Firehouse in need of a "large refurbishment," according to a firefighter at the scene.
As a result, Netflix has shifted its afterparty to the luxurious The Twenty Two hotel in Mayfair's Grosvenor Square. The London Fire Brigade reported that it took 20 fire engines and 125 firefighters to tackle the blaze on Chiltern Street in Marylebone. This unexpected turn of events may have caused some chaos, but it hasn't dampened the excitement for the Bafta red carpet later this afternoon.
Some of the biggest names in the industry, including Demi Moore and Cynthia Erivo, are expected to grace the red carpet. Both actresses are nominated for the leading actress category, with Demi already taking home awards at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes for her role in "The Substance." Cynthia, known for her role in the movie musical "Wicked," will also be competing for the leading actress award.
Other notable attendees include Ariana Grande, who received a supporting actress nod for her role in "Wicked," and stars Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez, who will also be presenting awards. The event is sure to be a star-studded affair, with dozens of A-listers in attendance.
This year's ceremony will be hosted by David Tennant for the second time, a role he previously admitted to being nervous about. "It's a huge privilege and it's very giddy-making," he said. "But I've sort of got a bit of a free pass because nobody expects me to be any good at it." Other nominees for the leading actor category include Ralph Fiennes, Sebastian Stan, Hugh Grant, Adrien Brody, Colman Domingo, and Timothee Chalamet. Kate Winslet, who stars in the Bafta-nominated film "Lee," and Jesse Eisenberg, whose film "A Real Pain" is also nominated, will also be in attendance.
In addition to the awards and red carpet, guests can look forward to performances by British pop group Take That, who will be playing their hit song "Greatest Day" from the film "Anora," and Wicked star Jeff Goldblum, who will be playing the piano during the In Memoriam segment.
