The very best of British cinema will be celebrated at the EE British Academy Film Awards , taking place at London's Royal Opera House in February and broadcast live to the nation by the BBC. The Film Awards are the Academy's highest possible film honours, rewarding the best work seen on British cinema screens during the preceding year. The awards have continued to evolve since their inception in 1948, with BAFTA now recognising outstanding achievement in 25 separate categories. The nominees and winners in the majority of categories are determined by the Academy's Film voting membership, juries and chapters. Last year's big winner was French silent film The Artist, which picked up seven awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.

About Royal Opera House
This impressive building in the heart of Covent Garden has been playing host to major stars of the classical music world since 1858. The third theatre to be located on this site, today's Royal Opera House is the result of a reconstruction in the 1990s (although the main auditorium is part of the original building).
