Baftas 2024: the red carpet, the ceremony, the winners – as it happened

If you are still inexplicably hanging around reading a liveblog of an awards ceremony that has already been over for two hours at this point, I have good news! Here’s a red carpet gallery! You will have your favourite photograph of the night. Mine is the one of Ayo Edebiri standing in what I’m pretty sure is the exact same stairwell that my six-year-old had a meltdown in just before going to see the Bluey play a couple of months ago.

I wonder what the solution is to the Baftas. The two-hour non-live approach clearly isn’t working, because anyone (by which I mean me) could just go on the BBC website and see who all the winners are before the show had even started. And doing it live won’t work either, because everyone would lose their minds about it bumping Countryfile out of the way. I’m genuinely stumped. Would it work best as a YouTube livestream? An emailed press release? Just two hours of Andy Serkis shouting the names of the winners into a bin? Honestly, I’m all out of ideas.
