Other awards...

The winner of the EE Rising Star Award, which is the only accolade of the night decided by the public, is yet to be announced as voting is still open. The nominees for the title however, include Ruth Negga (Loving), Tom Holland (Captain America: Civil War), Lucas Hedges (Manchester By The Sea), Laia Costa (Victoria) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Split).

What kind of speeches should fans expect?

Following on from the politically-charged Golden Globes and SAG Awards recently, the BBC will reportedly have a two-hour delay between the London ceremony and when the show airs on television. Talking about the time-gap, a source previously told The Sun: "Having 15 back-to-back Trump speeches would be a disaster and would take complete attention away from the films. Nobody wants to tell the stars what they should or shouldn't say and bosses expect the odd reference.

"But the last thing they want is a string of political rants – particularly with Trump's UK visit and his Muslim ban in full flow. They'll have no choice but to edit if the stars launch personal attacks or bring up issues such as racism."
