The British Academy on Tuesday unveiled a steering group that will lead a review into issues of diversity, which became headline news again earlier this year when talent was snubbed from the BAFTA film awards' main acting categories, making them an all-white affair.
The group, which is set meet over video conference and phone consultations due to current conditions in the COVID-19 pandemic, will consider the processes and conditions that contributed to the situation in January while also reviewing the latest available research into systemic issues in the industry.
AlthoughBAFTA's film awards will be the primary focus, it is also set to take into account the television, television craft and games awards.
