BAFTA Games Awards moves to online stream due to coronavirus
Much like other events, the BAFTA Games Awards has been impacted by the coronavirus. There will no longer be an in-person ceremony similar to past year. BAFTA now says that the proceedings will shift to an online live stream.
As was previously the case, the BAFTA Games Awards will be held on April 2.
Here’s the statement in full:
Amid growing concerns over the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) and the number of nominees due to travel from overseas, we have made the decision to change the format of next month’s BAFTA Games Awards from a red carpet ceremony at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London to an online live stream, which will broadcast globally on the same day as scheduled (Thursday 2 April).
The health and wellbeing of our guests and our staff remain our top priority, so there will be no live audience and we are now in the process of informing all our nominees, guests, partners and suppliers of the change. The new format will include the announcement of the Games Awards winners and we look forward to sharing more updates in the coming weeks.
You can find all of the nominees for this year’s BAFTA Game Awards here.
