## Resource

The BAFTA Film Awards are getting a facelift for 2027. The British Academy just announced significant tweaks to eligibility and voting, though not as dramatic as the Oscars' recent overhaul. Expect a much larger longlist for the coveted Outstanding British Film category. Plus, BAFTA is rolling out fresh guidance on AI's role in filmmaking. This move signals a new era for one of cinema's most prestigious nights, adapting to an evolving industry landscape.
