Video game producer Peter Molyneux will be awarded with a BAFTA fellowship at next month’s awards ceremony.

Molyneux will be the fourth person to receive the Fellowship award joining Nintendo God Shigeru Miyamoto, Nolan Bushnell and The Sims creator Will Wright.

Molyneux said of the honour…

“I remember back in 1967 watching the first BAFTA awards on television with my family and seeing them being so excited about those accolades.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be possible for me to accept one of the greatest honours the entertainment industry has to offer.

My first thought on learning that I was awarded an Academy Fellowship was that to be in the company of some of the greatest talents the entertainment industry has ever seen is truly humbling, and secondly that this is an award not just for myself, but for all the people I’ve ever worked with.”
