BAFTA Awards

PUNCH Online reports that the BAFTA Awards are presented in an annual ceremony by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).

These awards honour outstanding achievements in the film industry, both British and international, and are considered among the most prestigious film awards globally.

The BAFTA Awards were first held in 1947, making them one of the oldest film awards ceremonies. The awards ceremony usually takes place in London, and it attracts a significant amount of attention from the film industry and the public.

BAFTA Awards eligibility, voting…

Meanwhile, films eligible for consideration are not limited to British productions; they include international films released in the United Kingdom during the qualifying period. BAFTA also has specific categories, such as Outstanding British Film, to recognize and celebrate British cinema.

The winners are determined through a voting process involving BAFTA members, who are professionals across various branches of the film industry. The voting process is designed to ensure that the awards represent the consensus of the industry.

While the BAFTA Awards are prestigious in their own right, they are also seen as influential in the larger awards season, including the Oscars. Many films that perform well at BAFTA often go on to receive nominations and accolades at other major film festivals and awards ceremonies.

The BAFTA Awards ceremony typically takes place in February, with nominees and celebrities from the film industry attending the event. The ceremony is popular for its red-carpet arrivals, speeches, and celebrations of outstanding achievements in film.

Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, has revealed that she introduced her daughter to clubbing and alcohol at the age of 17.

She disclosed this in a recent interview with content creator, Mr Lilgaga.

The movie star said she likes the fact that her daughter would reference her as the person who introduced her to nightlife and alcohol.

“I took my daughter to the club for the first time at 17. And I like the fact that in her memoir, she would reference me as the person who introduced her to alcohol and clubbing,” she stated.

Meanwhile, Bakare’s revelation has elicited mixed reactions, with many berating her for introducing her daughter to alcohol and nightlife as a minor.

Read some of the reactions on X below:

It_hafizski wrote: “Introducing a 17-year-old to alcohol and nightlife is reckless parenting, not cruise. At that age, guidance and discipline should come first, not clubbing.”

Just_2undey opined: “Some of these people are not worth the pedestal the people place them on. All these coming from someone that calls herself a mother.”

DamiTheOG said: “Many of those you admire are often poor role models as parents.”

Shuluemp wrote: “Which kind of mother takes pride in introducing her 17-year-old to alcohol and clubbing?”

Sturbyrich opined: “Low-key this thing normal, at least her daughter will be free to talk to her about anything. If she no carry her go club, she’ll still go by herself and might even do worse things.”

Brainpink wrote: “Make una leave her, that’s how she wants to train her girl. Because if you dey overprotect, sometimes she will still go to the club, drink alcohol and still smoke join, and you won’t notice. But sha, small small ooo.”

Nadia Nakai, a popular TV host and ex-girlfriend of late South African rapper, AKA, has vowed not to date a rapper again.

The media personality said she would like her next relationship to be private because she wouldn’t like to explain her pain to strangers in the event that a popular partner dies.

In a recent interview with Fresh Men Magazine, she stated that AKA’s was a terrible experience for her.

“I will not date another rapper or anybody in the [entertainment] industry ever again. I never want to do that again. I want to have a very private relationship. I don’t want it to be public because if he had to die, that experience was terrible for me.

“I didn’t like having to explain my pain to strangers at the airport. I don’t want to explain nonsense to people on social media. So, I will never date a rapper or anybody in the public eye,” she vowed.

Recall that AKA was shot dead by a gunman outside a restaurant in Durban on 10 February, 2023.

The trial into his murder is still ongoing.
