Baftas 2023: all the red carpet arrivals – live! | Baftas 2023
Key events

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Guardian’s 2023 Bafta film award liveblog. Before we get going, I bring you both good news and bad news. The good news is that, after the almighty mess of last year’s awards season, everything seems to be back on track. The Golden Globes were on TV again this year and so far – fingers crossed! – no major awards ceremonies have been upended by one celebrity hauling themselves onstage to wallop another celebrity in the face. It’s just a nice, normal awards season, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
More good news: in a happy break from tradition, some of the Baftas are actually going to be broadcast live. In previous years, the ceremony happened way before the television broadcast, meaning that anyone with the internet already knew who won everything by the time it was on TV. But this year, we’re promised, the final four awards will be presented live. This will add an exciting frisson to proceedings, not least because it means I won’t be able to just copy and past the winners into the liveblog like I usually do.
But now to the bad news. It is currently 3pm GMT. We have four long hours before the Baftas will be on TV, and six before they end. That is a punishing length of time for anyone, not least the casual liveblog reader. We’re starting this early because the red carpet is starting this early, and Lauren Cochrane will be here to show you all the best and worst outfits, from the A-listers you care about (who won’t arrive on the red carpet for another two hours), and the no-marks who have sorely underestimated how boring it will be to turn up early and hang around inside the Royal Festival Hall for several hours waiting for the ceremony to start (who’ll start turning up imminently, the dummies).
So, to reiterate, the key timings:
15:30 – Red carpet opens
17:30 – Red carpet closes
18:00 – Ceremony starts in real life
19:00 – Television broadcast starts
20:45 – Live footage of the ceremony begins
21:00 – Ceremony (and TV broadcast) ends
21:01 – We all have a giant group hug for somehow getting through all this
Got that? Good. We still have plenty of time to discuss the actual nominees, so let’s start doing that in a bit. Good luck everyone!
