The opening night of the 74th British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards saw Viola Davis-starrer Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom taking home two awards in the technical categories.

The annual award ceremony, delayed from its usual February date due to the pandemic, has been split into a two-day event. The opening night, which was hosted by British radio personality Clara Amfo, was held virtually on Saturday and winners for eight categories were announced.
