Here’s what’s on the jets bringing celebs to the BAFTAs
The BAFTAs are just around the corner (10th February) and some of the biggest Hollywood stars will be flying over for the big night - we're expecting Amy Adams, Lady Gaga and Emma Stone at least, who are all up for awards.
And while we don't yet know who will win an award, or what will be in their goodie bags, we do know what they can expect from their travels, and it's luxurious to say the least.
