‘The Traitors’ Host Alan Cumming To Present 2026 BAFTA Film Awards
Alan Cumming will host the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards.
The Traitors presenter will preside over the British awards ceremony, which takes place at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 22.
Cumming, who won an Olivier award for his performance in Cabaret, is being welcomed back into the BAFTA fold having hosted the organization’s TV awards last year.
The Good Wife star replaces fellow Scottish actor David Tennant, who has hosted the BAFTA Film Awards for the past two years.
Cumming said he was looking forward to bringing some “mischief” to the event. Emma Baehr, BAFTA’s executive director of awards and content, hailed his “sharp wit, warmth and vibrant energy.”
Round one of voting for the Film Awards opened on December 5. Longlists will be unveiled on January 9, with nominations to follow on January 27.
