Baftas 2020 red carpet: Renee Zellweger and Joaquin Phoenix leads stars at the Royal Albert Hall

London got its second slice of the awards season action on Sunday (February 2) night, when film stars descended on the Royal Albert Hall for the Baftas.

The annual event celebrates the best movies of the past 12 months and nominees including Taron Egerton, Al Pacino and Jessie Buckley were among the first to arrive on the red carpet.

Renee Zellweger - tipped to win for her starring role as the title character in Judy - put her best foot forward in a pale pink gown.

The actress is up against Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson.

Joaquin Phoenix, nominated for Best Actor after his critically-acclaimed performance in Joker, was one of the first to hit the red carpet ahead of the bash.

Having won Best Actor prizes at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors' Guild (SAG) Awards, the star is also hotly-tipped to take home another award this evening.

This year’s nominees also include Brad Pitt, Little Women stars Florence Pugh and Laura Dern, as well as Margot Robbie - who is on the Best Supporting Actress shortlist twice.

However, discussions around diversity have threatened to overshadow the ceremony after Bafta named an all-male Best Director shortlist, with Greta Gerwig failing to make the cut, while every acting nomination went to a white actor.
