The British Academy of Film and Television Arts 2026 has started with celebs stylishly arriving at the red carpet to stamp their attendance at the award ceremony. The lead actor nominated stars include Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothee Chalamet and Michael B Jordan.
The award ceremony, which is taking place at the Royal Festival Hall within London's Southbank Centre, is considered to be one of the critically acclaimed show held before the prestigious Academy Awards in the same year.
Leonardo DiCaprio, who is nominated under the category of Best Actor for his performance in the thriller film 'One Battle After Another', arrived at the red carpet in a black suit complemented by a white shirt. The actor's look at the event showcased his class, which he has earned over his career of two decades.

Great to see Michael B. Jordan getting recognition. He's a fantastic actor. The article is well-written, but it focuses a lot on the suits. What about their actual performances? That's what the award is for, na?
Glad to see Riz Ahmed mentioned! He's been doing brilliant work. It's important for South Asian representation. The BAFTAs feel more inclusive these days. Hoping 'One Battle After Another' does well.
Timothee Chalamet is the future! So much talent at such a young age. The all-black suit is a sleek choice. The ceremony sounds glamorous. Wish I could watch it live from here in Mumbai!
Solid lineup of actors. DiCaprio is a legend, of course. But I find these award shows in the West get so much coverage here, while our own National Awards don't get half the hype. We should celebrate our own cinema more.
Black suits are elegant, but a bit safe, no? Would love to see some more adventurous fashion like we sometimes see at the Oscars. Still, the class and sophistication are on point! 👌
