While most of the award shows that American's watch tends to take place in one of the country's major cities, there is one show that takes place across the Atlantic that fans are just as invested in -- the EE British Academy Film Awards.

The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) will be held on Sunday, Feb. 2 at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London and will be hosted by comedian and television host Graham Norton. The awards show, which honors the best British and International contributions to film, announced the nominees on Jan. 7.

In total, 39 films received nominations with Todd Phillips' blockbuster hit "Joker" receiving a whopping 11, followed by "The Irishman" and "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood" with 10 nominations each. Other nominated films include "Little Women," "Parasite," "1917," and "Marriage Story."

The Academy will choose the winners of all the awards except for one -- the EE Rising Star Award. The winner of this award is decided by the public's votes. Fans have until midday GMT on Jan. 31 to cast their votes. The nominees are Awkwafina, Jack Lowden, Kaitlyn Dever, Kelvin Harrison Jr, and Micheal Ward.

As for how to watch, BAFTA has announced that the EE British Academy Film Awards red carpet will be broadcast live on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube from 17.00 to 18.30 GMT (12-1:30 p.m. EST) on Sunday.

And for those in the U.S. who want to see if their favorite films come out victorious, the BAFTA Awards will broadcast live from 21.00 to 23.00 GMT (4-6 p.m. EST) on TV networks BBC One, BBC One HD in the U.K. and BBC America in the U.S. Those who prefer to watch the show online can sign in with their cable subscription here.
