Which bit of science will win Best Picture? Who will take home the Best Supporting Actor? And will Prof Elaine Chew play us out with her Best Original Music?

Presented by Marnie Chesterton with Godfred Boafo and Camilla Moto.
Featuring pianist Elaine Chew, Professor of Engineering at Kings College London.
Produced by Alex Mansfield, with Tom Bonnet, Harrison Lewis, Dan Welsh and Katie Tomsett.
