David Beckham is getting his hands on a Bafta - but not for long as he is set to present one of the awards at this weekend's ceremony.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star is one of a raft of stars set to walk down the red carpet on Sunday.
Others celebrities set to attend include Reese Witherspoon, Keira Knightley and Eddie Redmayne, as well as Benedict Cumberbatch, Natalie Dormer and Rosamund Pike.
The industry bash, formally known as The EE British Academy Film Awards, is hosted by Stephen Fry at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, central London.
The awards, which will also feature a performance by rockers Kasabian, is broadcast on BBC One.
One person guaranteed to leave with an award is director Mike Leigh, who is being honoured with a Bafta Fellowship.
He follows in the footsteps of Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Laurence Olivier, Elizabeth Taylor, Judi Dench and last year's recipient Helen Mirren by receiving the Fellowship, awarded for "an outstanding and exceptional contribution to film".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
