Ridley Scott to receive the BAFTA Fellowship at the British Academy Film Awards

January 31, 2018 by Gary Collinson

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced that it will honour Sir Ridley Scott with the BAFTA Fellowship at the EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday February 18th.

“It is a privilege to have been able to make a career for myself in this industry and to be honoured for my body of work is indeed very gratifying,” said Scott, whose career has spanned over 40 years and includes films such as Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, American Gangster, Body of Lies, Prometheus, Alien: Covenant and All the Money in the World.

“Ridley Scott is a visionary director, one of the great British filmmakers whose work has made an indelible mark on the history of cinema,” added Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive of BAFTA. “His passion and unrelenting pursuit of excellence have provided cinema goers with a tantalising range of films, including Alien, Gladiator, Thelma and Louise and Blade Runner. 40 years since his directorial debut, his films continue to cross the boundaries of style and genre, engaging audiences and inspiring the next generation of film talent.”
