Bafta has announced plans to mount a wide-ranging review of how its awards are voted for in the wake of a row over the lack of diversity in\u00a0this year\u2019s nominations.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0British Academy was criticised online\u00a0after all 20 nominations in its acting categories were given to white performers and its Best Director shortlist was all-male for the seventh consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Bafta itself admitted it was \u201cdisappointing\u201d that there was not more diversity in its nominations.<\/p>\n

Marc Samuelson, head of the Bafta film committee, told\u00a0Variety\u00a0that \u201cchange is required\u201d in order to ensure that the nominees represent the diversity of the movie industry.<\/p>\n

He said there would be a \u201ccareful and detailed review within and outside the membership\u201d, with changes potentially implemented in time for the 2021 awards.<\/p>\n
