Notes:
  • The British Academy Film Awards are the major film awards held in Great Britain.
  • The British Film Academy was formed on 16th April 1947 in a hotel room at the Hyde Park Hotel by a group of the most eminent men in British film, under the chairmanship of David Lean.
  • The first awards, designed by Henry Moore, were statues in the form of a large, bronze, seated lady valued at UK £550 each at the time, but of great value today.
  • In 1958 the British Film Academy merged with the Guild of Television Producers and Directors to form the Society of Film and Television Arts.
  • In 1976, the Academy was renamed the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
