Sir Ridley Scott will be honoured with the Bafta Fellowship.
Casey Affleck, who won a Bafta last year for Manchester By The Sea, is not on the list of attendees so far.

He has vehemently denied the sexual harassment claims which were alleged to have happened during the making of the film I’m Still Here.
