"It is an incredible honour to be chosen as this year's recipient of the Bafta Fellowship. As a Brit, to be recognised by my home country, by my peers and fellow colleagues in the industry is an absolute privilege. I wouldn't be receiving this award without the indelible vision of the creative partners who have defined my career."
"Bafta remains the gold standard of excellence in the UK for film and television, and I take great pride in working with so many local artists who are shaping the future of this business. I feel lucky every day to be part of this community."
"The first British woman to lead a major Hollywood studio, Dame Donna Langley's cultural impact has been exceptional. Bafta is honoured to celebrate Donna's transformative studio leadership, and strength of her creative relationships"
Dame Donna Langley will receive the 2026 Bafta Fellowship Award at the Bafta Film Awards on February 22. Recognition credits transformative leadership amid rapid change, a sustained commitment to inclusion and pipeline building, and strong relationships with creative partners who bring film and television to life. She oversees creative strategy, business operations, production, acquisitions, marketing and distribution across all NBCUniversal entertainment programming. Born on the Isle of Wight, she arrived in Los Angeles about 30 years ago with no industry contacts. The recognition highlights her status as the first British woman to lead a major Hollywood studio and her standing as an influential figure in the entertainment industry.
