LONDON — Following the cancellation of the Golden Globes, the British Academy of Film and TV Arts has said that it hopes its film award ceremony will be unaffected by the WGA strike.

"Neither BAFTA nor our broadcaster (BBC America) is in dispute with the Writers Guild of America; whilst we hope for the sake of the whole international industry that the dispute is resolved, we look forward to rewarding and recognizing great filmmaking talent from around the world at our ceremony," said the org in a statement.

The British Academy Film Awards, which take place Feb. 10 at London's Royal Opera House, usually attract a strong contingent of American stars, both as nominees and as presenters.
