David Tennant has taken many iconic roles over the years, and he’s currently gearing up for his next big challenge. The Doctor Who star will be in charge of hosting the upcoming BAFTA Awards, set to return to London’s Royal Festival Hall this February.
Tennant, whose impressive filmography includes such beloved TV shows as Doctor Who, Broadchurch, and Good Omens, said he’s delighted to have been asked to host the BAFTA Film Awards and help celebrate the very best of this year’s films and the many brilliant people who bring them to life.
Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, said that Tennant is deservedly beloved by British and international audiences alike, and added they’re happy to welcome him as this year’s host.
“We are over the moon that David Tennant will be our host for the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards… His warmth, charm, and mischievous wit will make it a must-watch show next month for our guests at the Royal Festival Hall and the millions of people watching at home,” said Millichip.
The BAFTA Awards nomination will be announced by Naomi Ackie and Kingsley Ben-Adir on January 18, while the ceremony will take place on February 18 at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
