William and Catherine have not attended the star-studded ceremony since 2020. The heir to the throne canceled his appearance in 2021 following the death of his grandfather Prince Philip. He and Catherine missed the ceremony again last year due to “diary constraints,” according to  HELLO! .

Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Angela Bassett, Ana de Armas and Michelle Yeoh are among this year’s nominees. The 76th EE BAFTA Film Awards are being held at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London.

Viewers in the states will be able to tune into the ceremony, hosted by Richard E. Grant, on BritBox. The 2023 BAFTAs will stream live from London on the digital subscription video on demand service.

In a press release, Reemah Sakaan, CEO of BritBox International, said: “BritBox and BAFTA share a common vision to celebrate British excellence on screen, and take it out to the world. We are thrilled to be extending our relationship, live awards coverage of the EE BAFTAs, and red carpet entertainment to the BritBox subscribers in eight countries globally to tune-in and discover their next British obsession.”
