Mohamed Rahal - An article about BAFTA awards

The Royal Festival Hall in London witnessed a noisy night last night, amidst an atmosphere full of pride and love together, on the occasion of the launch of the British Academy of Film and Television Awards, known as the “BAFTA” Awards 2025.

The ceremony - which is held annually after the Grammys - witnessed the celebration of the best that cinema has presented in the United Kingdom and abroad, amid a large gathering of international cinema stars.

However, the “BAFTA” Awards came at a very difficult time for the industry. This year looks different compared to previous years. The BAFTA Award for Rising Stars was presented by previous winners “Letitia Wright” and “James McAvoy” to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the award.
