Cranston is among a substantial group of actors and industry figures set to present awards, including Aimee Lou Wood, Cillian Murphy, David Jonsson, Delroy Lindo, Gillian Anderson, Glenn Close, Olivia Cooke, Patrick Dempsey, Ethan Hawke, Miles Caton, Emily Watson, and Stellan Skarsgård.

Musical performances are also planned. KPop Demon Hunters, consisting of EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, will perform their song “Golden” – their first live reveal outside of the United States. Jessie Ware will perform a cover of a Barbra Streisand song during the In Memoriam segment.

Several nominees are also expected to present, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, and Rose Byrne. A seating chart released by BAFTA, showing Anderson positioned near DiCaprio, Plemons, Mescal, Lindo, and Jordan, was later clarified by the organization as a staged visual and not reflective of the actual seating arrangements.

“One Battle After Another” currently leads the nominations with 14, followed by “Sinners” with 13.
