Billy Crystal may have notched up an impressive nine appearances as Oscars host, but over in the U.K. Stephen Fry will be going one better with the BAFTAs.
In an announcement made Thursday it was revealed that the veteran TV personality, actor, author and all-round funnyman would be taking over MC duties at the BAFTA awards for a 10th time. The ceremony, seen as the biggest international film awards outside the U.S., will take place Feb. 8 at London’s Royal Opera House.
“Hosting the Film Awards has always been a highlight of my year,” Fry said in a statement.
