It’s a requirement of voting members before casting votes or accessing content on BAFTA’s streaming platform BAFTA View to participate in this survey. Over 2,500 creatives from film, games and television globally have joined BAFTA since 2020, bringing the total number of global members to over 11,500, the data reveals. The organization says that progress is continuing towards meeting targets first set out in the 2020 BAFTA Review.
Last year BAFTA launched a new membership tier called BAFTA Connect for emerging and mid-level creatives. The initiative has provided over 1,400 people from across the screen industries with a tailored program of support, to help build consistent and sustained careers in their chosen craft specialism, BAFTA said.

J. Kim Murphy Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss issued some criticism for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ new diversity and inclusion standards, saying that the updated requirements for Oscar contention “make me vomit.” Dreyfuss’ comments came during a wide-ranging interview on PBS’ “Firing Line With Margaret Hoover,” in which the actor discussed civics education in the United States, partisan discourse and the Academy’s diversity inclusion initiative. “It’s an art. No one should be telling me as an artist that I have to give in to the latest, most current idea of what morality is. What are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people’s feelings?
