“Our brief from BAFTA and the BBC was they wanted the show to feel as though it had more energy, had more warmth, had a broader reach in terms of age range and diversity,” says Bullen. The Academy had already booked Royal Festival Hall - migrating away from the stately Royal Albert Hall - so “that’s the venue we to work with,” says Bullen. Spun Gold won the two-year contract to produce the BAFTAs in late August, and began planning the show in October. We felt we’re not about revolution, we’re about evolution.”ĭeBose has yet to issue an official statement, but on Tuesday commented on a meme of her “Angela Basset did the thing” lyrics, saying, “Honestly I love this.” But American awards shows have much more razzmatazz, much more showbiz, and perhaps a broader range of people being involved. “I think a lot of people don’t like change, and there’s a view that the BAFTAs have to be this slightly stiff, traditional British, middle-England messaging. “We wanted to open the show with some energy, some fun, and also lay out straight away that this was hopefully going to feel like a different night, but with a familiarity as well, and what Ariana did was exactly that,” says Bullen.
