Here we tell you everything you need to know from hosts, nominations and who to look out for....

The star-studded red carpet event will be taking place at London's Royal Festival Hall.
The Hall is a 2,700 seat venue and is part of London's Southbank Centre.
It will be broadcast on BBC One on Sunday, May 14, 2023 at 7pm.

Meanwhile, Bad Sisters, The English, Slow Horses and The Crown have all received five nods each.
Who is hosting the BAFTA TV Awards 2023?
Comedians and good friends Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett are pairing up to host the event for the first time together. The two have known each other for years from the comedy circuit and co-present their popular TV Sky series, Rob & Romesh Vs together.
Previous hosts for the awards are actor Richard Ayoade who hosted the event for three years, (2020-2022 ) Sue Perkins who hosted in 2018 and stalwart Graham Norton who has hosted it numerous times.
BAFTA TV Awards 2023 — who will be hosting the backstage coverage and red carpet coverage?
Viewers will be able to tune into the action from 3pm via @BAFTA with Clara Amfo and Michelle Visage leading the red carpet coverage.
Broadcaster and creator of Chicken Shop Date Amelia Dimoldenberg completes Sunday’s hosting line-up in a new backstage position, interviewing stars as they come off stage, as part of the BBC One broadcast.
Are Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan looking forward to hosting and how are their nerves?
Romesh says, " I think doing our series Rob and Romesh Versus…has put us through some real dignity-torching, high-anxiety scenarios. When you’ve had to sing country songs in Nashville and perform in Disney On Ice, hosting the BAFTAs seems manageable."
"We’ve done years on the comedy circuit being humiliated on stage", says Rob. "That’s how you get better at stuff so on the night we’ll just be ourselves, enjoy it and it will be what it will be; either good, great, a non-event or rubbish!
Which of this year's BAFTA nominated shows have Rob and Romesh enjoyed watching?
ROMESH: "I thought Am I Being Unreasonable with Daisy-May Cooper was really good and The Responder, (starring Martin Freeman) was amazing."
ROB: "I loved The Traitors. My wife, Lou, and I binge-watched that so we could catch up with the finale."
ROMESH: "It’s irritating when you work in TV to see other excellent TV being made. I’m not going to lie to you!"
Romesh has previoulsy won two BAFTAS for his show The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan and is nominated in the Best Feature category this year. How does he feel about that?
ROMESH: "It’s an amazing feeling to be nominated again. The truth is you care slightly more about it than you’d like to let on. You realise just how much 90 seconds before they announce the winner when you suddenly go, ‘It could be me!’ "
ROB: "If he doesn’t win I’m just going to say his name anyway."
ROMESH: "That’s a great shout!"
Who are Rob and Romesh going to be most starstruck by on the night?
ROB: "Cillian Murphy because he’s so fit. We’ll look the best we’ve ever looked in our nice suits with hair and make-up done and then to be confronted with Cillian Murphy, we’ll look disgusting in comparison!"
ROMESH: "I’ll be starstruck by Gary Oldman."
ROB: "I really want him to win because he’s from South East London like me."
Who are they rooting for to pick up an award?
ROB: "I always love seeing anyone that started out in the comedy world with us so Lucy Beaumont and Diane Morgan have both been nominated. And Joe Lycett too."
ROMESH: "It’s weird seeing someone you did gigs with in front of three people being up for a BAFTA. Obviously, professionally, you wish it hadn't happened for them, but it’s still amazing."
BAFTA TV Awards 2023 — which celebrities and famous faces will be presenting the awards?
Presenters dishing out the gongs on the night include Catherine Tate, Dame Harriet Walker, Danni Minogue, Lenny Henry, sisters Motsi and Oti Mabuse, singer Rebecca Ferguson, Danny Dyer, David Tennant, Golda Rosheuvel and Roisin Conaty.
BAFTA TV Awards 2023 — will there be any musical performances on the night?
Grammy, BRITs and MOBO nominated producer and DJ, Jax Jones, will open the ceremony with his hit 2022 track, Where Did You Go.
Then together with multiplatinum selling singer-songwriter Calum Scott will perform their new single Whistle.
