Stephen Fry will return to host the BAFTAs once more despite causing controversy with his infamous comments about Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan at the 2016 ceremony.
However, following outrage on social media, Fry ended up quitting Twitter between February and August, writing on the social media platform before his silence: “Jenny Beavan is a friend and joshing is legitimate.
The ceremony – which takes place 12 February 2017 – will include a performance by Cirque du Soleil, while the nominations will be announced 10 January 2017.
The Mad Max: Fury Road costume designer responded by saying she was “absolutely not upset” by the joke because Fry was a close friend.
