Los Angeles, March 13 The 75th EE British Academy Film Awards, better known as the BAFTA Awards, will take place in person at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, with 'Pitch Perfect' star Rebel Wilson set to host the event, which will be streamed live from 7 p.m. GMT (0030 hours IST) by SonyLIV in India.

The red carpet, reports 'Variety', begins at 2 p.m. GMT and the ceremony starts at 5 p.m. GMT. The ceremony broadcast will air a couple hours later at 7 p.m. GMT.

The BAFTA social media accounts will also follow the night's events, including red carpet coverage.

"With Rebel Wilson hosting in front of an auditorium packed full of famous faces, it promises to be a truly unmissable show," Emma Baehr, BAFTA's executive director of awards and content, said.
