Manori Ravindran International Editor BAFTA is expanding its U.S. awards activity with the year-round presentation of Special Awards to recipients in North America.

The org has made clear to Variety that the Britannia’s aren’t necessarily canceled, but will rather take on a different shape as more awards are presented across the calendar year.

You will also see that she was a very, very precise actress. So take a close look at her performance in this film.” “The three of us want to dedicate this screening to her family and to Charlbi, in order to pay honor to her work,” said Östlund. “I’m 100% sure that Charlbi would like us to have a really fantastic night here. This would be an important night for her also, to present the film to the North American audience.” At the time of her death, Dean was reported to be suffering from a chest infection. An official cause of death has yet to be disclosed. “Triangle of Sadness” marked Dean’s first major film role. The South African model and actor starred alongside Dickinson as a
