Graham Norton to host BAFTAs

Published Monday, Feb 21 2005, 14:34 GMT | By Daniel Saney
Irish comedian Graham Norton is set to host this year's BAFTA awards.

Norton, who has received three BAFTAs himself, said of his appointment: "Obviously being asked to host the BAFTA awards is a huge thrill, not to mention a lot easier than sitting in the audience pretending to be pleased for the winners.

"However, the job does come with its own worries - will I be able to pronounce all the names? Will I be able to go for two hours without a drink?"

The nominations for this year's awards will be announced on March 14, with the ceremony taking place on April 17 at London's Royal Theatre.
