In addition to the award show, the streaming hub is a one-stop shop for British movies and TV shows, from “Luther” to “Downtown Abbey.”

Who is hosting the 2025 BAFTAs?

“Dr. Who” star David Tennant will preside over the evening for the second year in a row.

“I think it’s quite an open field currently,” the Scottish star recently told The Hollywood Reporter of this year’s awards race. “It’s quite hard to know who the runners and riders are.”

“It certainly feels like Britain, as a production hub, is absolutely thrumming,” he added.

Going into the night, “Conclave” is in the lead with 12 nominations — followed closely by “Emilia Pérez,” which scored 11 nods.

Meanwhile “Wicked” has seven chances to pick up a coveted BAFTA mask trophy. (Not to mention, Jeff Goldblum’s slated to perform during the show.)

Photos of the seating chart for the event also include A-listers like Ariana Grande, Colman Domingo and Timothée Chalamet — the latter of whom is nominated for both “A Complete Unknown” and “Dune: Part Two.”

But while Prince William is the president of the British Academy of Film and Television, don’t expect another royal red carpet moment this year; Earlier this week, Kensington Palace confirmed to People that he and Kate Middleton won’t be attending this time around.
