The ceremony will be hosted by David Tennant for the second year in a row.[4] The broadcast will stream live on BBC One and iPlayer in the United Kingdom, and BritBox in North America, the Nordics and Australia, as well as a host of further international broadcasters yet to be announced.[5] This year, a new Children's and Family Film award "will celebrate the very best films appealing to inter-generational audiences". This is the first new category to be introduced to the EE BAFTA Film Awards in five years, following the introduction of Best Casting in 2020. As previously set out in autumn 2023, the inclusion of a dedicated award for children and family films "will profile the essential creative contributions of the children's media sector".[3][6][7]
