How to View an Entry

If you have not been provided with a direct link to an entry you will need to pass through several screens before it is possible to view entry information. Once logged into BAFTA View you will see a screen that has a title called Your Content which will look similar to the image below:

This page list the Awards which have been assigned to you to view and vote in by the BAFTA Membership team. If you are unable to see an Award which you believe you should then please contact the membership team membership@bafta.org

There are two statues of an award in BAFTA View:

Open – Awards where there are entries available for you to view. These awards have a Gold outline and if you click on them with your cursor (computer) or finger (phone/tablet) then a new page will load.

Closed – Awards will be closed if there are no entries ready to view or the voting period in a given year has closed. These Awards are Grey and it is not possible to click on them.

In addition to the Awards there is also My List. You can find out more about this feature in the My List help guide.

To proceed click on one of the open Awards.

If you click on the British Academy Television Awards or the British Academy Television Craft Awards there is an additional screen. Please note that viewing for these Awards is by category and the first screen presented is a category select screen.

If you are viewing for another award and do not see this screen then this step can be ignored.

The category select screen will display all the categories in the award that your user has rights to view and vote. If categories are not visible then it is likely that no entries have been approved at this stage.

To the right of each category is a number confirming the number of current approved entries listed in the category. Click on a category name to view the entries.

The View Pages are where you will find all of the current entries that you can review. Note that there are three different views and the view page may look different to the example below. There are a number of filtering and sorting options on this page and these options along with the different View options are explained in the Viewing Screens, Filtering and Menu Options help page.

You Search, Filter or scroll to find entries. When you find an entry that you want to View then click on either the name of the entry or the image and the entry page will open.

The Entry Page

In BAFTA View each entry has its own page which displays all of the content. Note that for Film and Game entries all of the categories and content will be included on one page. Television entries are prefiltered by the Category Select Screen, detailed above, which means you will only see content for the entry which is relevant to the category. Do make sure you review additional categories to view category specific content.

The top of the entry page will contain entry information relevant tot he entry as a who which include following information:

  • Entry Title
  • Synopsis
  • Run time
  • Certificate rating
  • Episode title
  • Channel

This information may change form year to year and for each award.

Just below the entry information are buttons for Watched, Add to My List and Notes. These features are explained in the Viewing Screens, Filtering and Menu Options help page , the My List guide and the Notes help page.

All entries on BAFTA View have an image. If available below the image will be a button to Play for the Television programme or Film entered. Get Game will appear for the Games Awards only and for more information about claiming Game Codes read the How to Play guide.

If there is no Play button then the video is not currently available to view. This will be because the video has not yet been provided to BAFTA or the owner of the video has placed a restriction on the time period that the video can be reviewed by members.
