Bafta has announced that they will not give out any special awards at its 2022 ceremonies.
Last year, actor Noel Clarke received the special prize for Outstanding Contribution to Cinema at the 2021 film awards, but was publicly accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by 20 women days later.
“Due to the time needed to properly implement the recommendations of this review, these non-competitive awards, including the Fellowship, will not be part of this year’s film awards or games awards ceremonies in 2022, but we intend to present special awards at our television awards ceremony in May.”
While Bafta suspended Clarke, it was claimed in the original report that they had been told about the allegations before the show and had continued to reward Clarke for his work anyway.
