The BAFTA Awards, prestigious film and television awards given by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
An acronym from 'British Academy of Film and Television Arts,' established in 1947. The acronym became so well-known it functions as a proper noun and word.
BAFTA represents how acronyms can completely replace their original phrase in public speech—most people forget it stands for anything and just say 'BAFTA' the way they say 'NASA'.
