Although many fans were disappointed that the SAFTAs wears held virtually, SAFTAs also addressed the matter by tweeting the following…

“The decision to host the event virtually was made at the time the bid for tender was put out to production companies to produce the #SAFTAs awards ceremony.”

They continued in another tweet by saying…“While we do aknowledge that it would have been ideal to celebrate with the industry in-person, our production have worked exceptionally hard to give industry practitioners the honour deserve. Our motif ‘Frame the Future’ speaks to this as we hope to build on the reimagined execution, we delivered last year”
