Winning a BAFTA...Every year around 250 films get entered by distributors, producers or Academy Members for consideration at the Orange British Academy Film awards.The Academy’s members are individuals representing all fields of the Film, Television and Video Games industries. Each one has made a significant contribution to their particular field.In order to determine who takes home the award in each category from that initial group of 250 films there is a voting system that takes place over three separate rounds.Round 1In Round 1 all film-voting members of BAFTA (6500) can vote up to twelve times in each category from the full list of films entered. Once the votes are in from this first stage, then the top 15 films from each category go through to a long list in Round 2.Round 2In Round 2 all BAFTA members can again vote in each category. This time the members only get to vote five times in each separate section. The five most popular films from each category after the round two votes come in make it to the final round of voting, where they will be announced at a press conference at the BAFTA head quarters at 195 Piccadilly around a month before the actual award ceremony takes place.Round 3*For most BAFTA members, Round 3 in the most simple. There is only one vote each and they only have to vote in the following six categories:Best FilmLeading ActressLeading ActorSupporting ActressSupporting ActorFilm Not In The English LanguageFor every other category at the awards only members of the Academy who have expertise and experience in specialist fields related to those categories can vote. For example, the winner of the Editing category is decided by members with editing experience. Members voting in their specialist chapters have one vote in each section.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow are films entered?As long as a film passes the rules of eligibility then it may be entered for the film awards. A film may be qualified for consideration by the films distributor or producer, or by any Academy voting member. Once the film is submitted then a screen credits form will be required to be completed by the distributor or producer.What happens once a film is submitted?Once a film has been submitted and a screen credits form been fully completed then the film enters the first round of the voting system. Distributors can send out screener DVDs or organise screenings of their entered films. The announcement for the shortlist of nominees takes place at 195 Piccadilly around a month before the ceremony is due to take place.What makes a film eligible?In order for a film to be valid for consideration its first public exhibition must be in a cinema (rather than on television or online), and it must have a UK theatrical release in a public UK cinema for no fewer than seven days in the calendar year that corresponds to the upcoming awards. If a film opens between the first of January and the Friday before the awards in February then it may be eligible as long as it is screened to Academy voting members during this time. A film must be feature length, i.e. with a running time exceeding 60 minutes. Films from all countries are eligible in all categories, with the exception of Outstanding British Film, Outstanding Debut, Short Film and Short Animation which are for British films only.Who votes?In order to vote you must be a registered member of BAFTA. There are around 6500 BAFTA members with the large majority being creatives or professionals in the film, video and television industries. Non-members can vote for the Orange Rising Star Award where a list of five potential future film stars are up for a public vote.Do all members vote in all categories?Within the voting membership, there are specialist voting chapters, consisting of at least 80 members with direct experience in the relevant field.The chapters are:ActingAnimationCinematographyCostume DesignDirectorEditingMake Up & HairMusicProduction DesignScreenplaySoundSpecial Visual EffectsIn earlier rounds, all members have the option to vote in all categories, but can abstain in any category in which they do not feel they have sufficient experience to make an informed decision. In the first round, although all members can vote, the votes of the relevant chapter in each category are counted separately, and their top 5 are guaranteed to go through to the second round. These chapter selections are flagged in the longlist.In the final round of voting, all members vote for Best Film, Film Not in the English Language, and the four performance categories. The winners of the other categories are decided only by members of the relevant chapter.Are any of the awards decided differently?Film Not in the English Language: nominations are decided by a chapter of members with an interest in and understanding of world cinema. All members vote to decide the winner in round three.Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer: nominations and winners in this category are judged by a combination of BAFTA's Film Committee and a jury.Short Film and Short Animation: nominations are decided by a jury, and Chapters vote to decide the winners.Outstanding British Film: the membership votes for ten films in the first round. The nominations are then chosen by a combination of membership vote and the Academy’s Film Committee. The Committee, supported by a larger jury comprising selected industry figures, decides the winner.Animated Film: the membership and animation chapter vote for five films in Round One. The chapter’s top three, and the next two from the general membership vote are long listed; these are reduced to three nominations in Round Two. The chapter votes for the winner.Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema and the Academy Fellowship: these awards are in the gift of the Academy. The Fellowship is the highest accolade the Academy can bestow.http://www.bafta.org/awards/film/film-awards-judging-process,229,BA.html
