Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

After being pushed back by months due to the pandemic, the 2021 Bafta Film Awards have finally arrived.

The event, held at the Royal Albert Hall with nominees attending virtually, is being split over two days, with Saturday’s (10 April) Opening Night ceremony announcing the winners of the technical categories, and Sunday’s (11 April) event revealing the winners of the remaining major awards.

This year’s nominations were the first since a “watershed” seven-month investigation into the lack of diversity at the 2020 nominations.

Going into the weekend, Nomadland and Rocks led the pack with the most nominations each (seven), followed by The Father, Mank, Minari and Promising Young Woman, which all had six.

The EE Bafta Film Awards Opening Night ceremony was hosted by Clara Amfo, and saw films including Tenet and Sound of Metal take home awards.

During the Opening Night event, Noel Clarke was recognised for his special contribution to British cinema, while Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr performed the single “Speak Now” from the Bafta-nominated film One Night in Miami

Among the presenters scheduled to appear at Sunday’s ceremony are James McAvoy, David Oyelowo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Pedro Pascal, Richard E Grant, Cynthia Erivo and Hugh Grant.
