This year's BAFTA Film Awards will be streamed live on BritBox in the US, Canada and South Africa next month.

BritBox has agreed a deal to live stream this year's BAFTA Film Awards in the US, Canada and South Africa.

The annual ceremony will this year be hosted by Aussie actress Rebel Wilson at the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 13, with sci-fi epic Dune leading the way in the nominations.

Emma Baehr, executive director of awards at BAFTA, said: "We are delighted to work with BritBox so audiences in North America and South Africa can tune into this year's ceremony to see who wins a BAFTA, and join us in celebrating the very best in film.

"With Rebel Wilson hosting in front of an auditorium packed full of famous faces, it promises to be a truly unmissable show."

The BAFTAs take place two weeks before the Academy Awards and traditionally serve as a good gauge for Oscars success.
