Bafta said it will not hand out any special awards at its upcoming film or games prize ceremonies because it needs time to implement the recommendations of a recent review.

The review found the non-competitive accolades, including the Bafta Fellowship and the award for outstanding British contribution to cinema, are a “vital way” of celebrating talent – but said the way recipients are chosen should be reconsidered.
