This year the award will be presented to Thelma Schoonmaker. The Duke and Duchess are no stranger to the ceremony. Kate and William dress to the nines and walk the carpet before heading inside of the show. In 2018, the 37-year-old Duchess stepped out in a stunning green Jenny Packham gown. The pregnant Duchess was all smiles and reportedly gave subtle nod to the Times Up movement with the black belt. George, Charlotte and Louis’ parents made their first appearance in 2011.

After winning the award for the film, the actress revealed that she removed her shoes – but then had to take the stage to meet William and Kate. “Kate, I meet her first, and she’s my height. I’m standing there, and I don’t have any shoes on,” she told Jimmy Kimmel. “And she says “I’ve got really high heels on’ and she’s pregnant. So, I tell her 'honey, you need to take those shoes off.’” This year’s ceremony will honor The Favourite, A Star is Born and Roma, which earned seven nominations.
