Who’s performing at the BAFTAs 2022?
Dame Shirley Bassey and actress Emilia Jones will perform at this year BAFTAs.
To mark the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, Dame Shirley Bassey and her orchestra will open the show.
Emilia Jones will perform a cover of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now, from her Best Actress-nominated performance in the film Coda.
Fellow Best Actress nominee Lady Gaga will introduce the Rising Star segment.
And of course, as host, Rebel Wilson will be entertaining us too. ‘I’m not going to sweat-it with nerves because I have a peculiar medical condition where I can’t sweat … or cause offence to people because of my adorable Australian accent,’ the actor said in a statement.
Enjoy!
