How BAFTA produced its video games awards amid a coronavirus lockdown, with pre-recorded acceptance speeches and host Dara O Briain filming himself from his own basement.
On March 13, the British Academy revealed that the BAFTA Games Awards had became one of the first major awards ceremonies on the creative industry’s calendar to be impacted by the coronavirus crisis.
For reasons of health and safety, the ceremony would become an online live-stream to be broadcast on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Twitch, scrapping the red carpet and audience at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's Southbank and foregoing the need for the many international guests and nominees to fly in from oversees.
"As things progressed, it was clear that we needed to move to a pre-produced show," explains BAFTA’s director of awards and membership Emma Baehr.
