The British Academy Film Awards, more commonly known as the BAFTA Film Awards is an annual award show hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) to honour the best British and international contributions to film.
The first BAFTA Awards ceremony was held in 1949, and the ceremony was first broadcast on the BBC in 1956 with Vivien Leigh as the host. The ceremony was initially held in April or May; since 2001, it typically takes place in February prior to the Academy Awards. The awards are in the form of a theatrical mask.
The BAFTA TV Awards, or British Academy Television Awards, are presented in an annual award show hosted by the BAFTA. They have been awarded annually since 1955.

The Oscars are considered one of the most prestigious award shows in the world, and they are presented each year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

What's the difference between the Golden Globes and the Oscars?
The main difference between the two is what they focus on. The Golden Globes recognises excellence in both television and film, like the Emmys and Academy Awards in one, whereas the Oscars are focused solely on film.
Within the entertainment industry, the Golden Globes are considered second in importance both to the Academy Awards (for film) and to the Emmy Awards (for television), and the televised awards ceremony is a comparably lavish affair. For each medium, Golden Globes are given in several categories.
EGOT, an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major American art awards.
The award was not handed out in 2010 but was reinstated in 2011. The award was not presented at the 2020 Brit Awards but returned for the 2021 Brit Awards. Throughout the tenure of the category, artists from the United States have won twenty-three times, more than groups from any other country.
The Brits, like some other entertainment awards, have introduced gender neutral awards to be "even more inclusive, recognising exceptional work rather than how artists identify", a spokesperson said.
The Academy Awards is seen as the most prestigious award an actor can win and is sought after by many either in the film industry or who dream of breaking into the film industry.
It is possible for films from any country to be nominated, although British films are also recognised in the category BAFTA Award for Best British Film and (since 1983) foreign-language films in BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.
What are some of the aspects of a film that Cannes and the Oscars view differently? One major difference is the origin. Cannes regularly give the Palme to movies that are not in English and don't even have international distribution. That is unthinkable at the Oscars.
