Last year's decision by BAFTA organisers to place the ceremony squarely during the run-up season for the Oscars has clearly paid off with a truckload of stars heading for London for this weekend's celebrations. In particular, Hollywood is very well represented this year, as LA-based actors hope to make the most of the three days' grace between the BAFTAs and close of voting on the Academy Awards. A win in London could, they hope, make the difference at next month's Oscars. The list of stars expected in London for Sunday's show reads like an Elton John party list with stars such as Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey, Nick Nolte, Sissy Spacek, Harvey Keitel, Halle Berry and Don Cheadle all expected to make an appearance. Flying the flag for the Brits will be Iris stars Judi Dench, Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent, Helena Bonham Carter and Lord Attenborough and LOTR stars Sir Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom. Empire Online will be reporting live from the Awards on Sunday night and if you check back on Monday morning we'll have a full picture gallery and behind-the scenes coverage from this year's BAFTAs. Plus we'll have the full list of winners up at 8.30pm - be among the first to find out who's won what.
