A night filled with glitz, festivities, and high-profile after-parties is what the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards offer. However, a fire Friday afternoon forced Netflix to evacuate its regular post-BAFTA location, Chiltern Firehouse, posing an unforeseen problem. All visitors and employees were carefully taken out, and fortunately, nobody was hurt. Netflix moved quickly to find a gorgeous new location because the property was shuttered until further notice. The Twenty Two, a posh hotel in Mayfair's Grosvenor Square, will now host the eagerly awaited after-party, as reported by Deadline.

 Netflix is anticipated to continue its lively post-BAFTA celebration into the early hours despite the last-minute location change. The evening is expected to be festive with 16 nominations, including 11 for Emilia Pérez and several for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Hollywood's elite have attended Netflix's Chiltern Firehouse party since 2019. Within 24 hours of the fire, Netflix secured The Twenty Two, ensuring the festivities continue seamlessly and the celebratory spirit remains as vibrant as ever.

Governors Awards 2025: Are They Connected to Oscars in Any Way?

While Netflix may have secured a new venue for the BAFTA Awards, the Oscars are still scrambling to lock in presenters—struggling to entice A-listers with their notoriously low pay.

BAFTA bash resuming, but will the Oscars be able to lure presenters?

An Oscar win has no monetary prize despite its prestige—the gold-plated statuette is only $400. Nominees, however, are given lavish swag bags filled with opulent goods valued at $100,000. Despite the award's lack of monetary recompense, its influence cannot be denied. An Oscar is a long-term investment in an actor's career rather than a one-time payment because it increases their salary by 20–60%.
