Sonja Klaus, BFDG Chairperson and Production Designer, said: “We are thrilled to be looking forward to an in-person awards celebration in our 75th anniversary year. Despite the challenges faced, the British Film & TV Industry has continued to deliver exceptional work and we are extremely proud of our members’ achievements. It is fantastic to see an increasingly high proportion of women nominated across the board, from a diverse range of backgrounds.
