Leading the pack with eight nominations this year is stalking drama Baby Reindeer, created by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, who has already won a slew of awards, including the best limited series Emmy.
On the red carpet, Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, posed with Cumming for photos, ahead of her performing at the ceremony later, as she is one of the musical acts along with British singer Tom Grennan,
The ceremony is taking place, following US president Donald Trump proposing a 100% tariff on international films.
Bafta chief executive Jane Millichip called for more 'meaningful conversations' around Mr Trump's tariffs.

'I think the most important thing is, if you look at the history of film and television, the UK and the US have been in lockstep for decades, almost a whole century across film and TV,' she said.
'Culturally, we're so tied, and there is so much co-production happening, I think to unpick that will be like making eggs out of an omelette to be honest.'

Actor Lenny Rush, who rose to fame as the witty child of Daisy May Cooper's character in BBC hit Am I Being Unreasonable?, told the PA news agency on the red carpet that he felt he could 'relax a bit more' this year, after winning the male performance in a comedy Bafta in 2024.
'It was unreal, I still can't believe it to be honest. It's just such a nice experience and I can relax a bit more this year,' he said.
Fiennes, who played former England manager Gareth Southgate in the play Dear England and is also known for dystopian series The Handmaid's Tale, is a presenter at the Bafta ceremony along with young Adolescence star Owen Cooper, Poirot actor Sir David Suchet, TV baker Dame Mary Berry and Stacey Dooley.
Disney+ drama Rivals, which is adapted from a novel by Dame Jilly Cooper, has six nominations and a memorable moment nod, while Apple TV+ spy series Slow Horses, starring Oscar winner Gary Oldman, also has six nods.
Actress Piper is nominated for Netflix's Scoop, which sees her play former Newsnight producer Sam McAlister, who secured the infamous Newsnight interview with the Duke of York.

She will compete in the leading actress category against Marisa Abela, for banking drama Industry, Anna Maxwell Martin for her role in ITV's Until I Kill You, which told the true story of Delia Balmer who survived a near-fatal relationship with murderer John Sweeney (Shaun Evans), and Monica Dolan, who played subpostmistress Jo Hamilton in the ITV drama about the scandal.
Dolan is also nominated in the supporting actress category alongside Baby Reindeer stars Jessica Gunning, for portraying stalker Martha, and trans actress Nava Mau for playing Teri, Donny's girlfriend.
Mau told PA: 'I think it's so important that that we have trans representation on screen and behind the scenes as well, because at the end of the day, we are just human beings, and our stories exist in conjunction with everybody else's.
'I think maybe right here is a perfect example of what is possible when trans people can be uplifted and celebrated for all that we are.'
Other nods in the same section have gone to Katherine Parkinson for Rivals, Maxine Peake for Say Nothing, and Sue Johnston for Channel 4 drama Truelove.
The Bafta TV Awards will air on BBC One at 7pm.

Emmerdale star ‘struggled' filming soap's ‘weird' intimate moments as she breaks silence on sexy scenes
EMMERDALE star Roxy Shahidi has admitted she struggled filming intimate scenes on the soap. The actress - who played Leyla Harding in the ITV soap - has broken her silence on how she felt filming sexy scenes. 3 3 3 Speaking to former co-star Matthew Wolfenden, Roxy opened up about how she felt having to kiss her co-stars - and it's safe to say she's not a fan. Matthew said: "They decided to try to put David and Leyla back together — do you remember? — and we had to do a kissy scene. It was the weirdest thing, wasn't it? "Because it's alright when you're doing those scenes with... (people you don't know so well)." She said on their podcast The Celebrity Side Hustle Roxy said: "I really struggle with them, because I am someone, and I know it sounds daft as an actor because people listening will be saying, 'It's your job.' 'It is, and you do get on with it, but for me personally, I'm so weird about personal space. "I've just never felt comfortable with it." She added: "It's always made me anxious. "I always get a bit awkward, but the best way I found to deal with it is to almost choreograph it like a dance." The actress left the show in 2024, and bowed out after her character, Leyla was killed in the tragic limo crash. A source close to the telly star said at the time: "Roxy has adored her time on the soap and has made so many happy memories since first joining when she was 17. I was stunned when I found out my Emmerdale character Leyla Harding was going to die in limo crash… it was very tough, admits star Roxy Shahidi "The cast have become like family to her and she has grown so much as an actress, but now feels like the perfect time to spread her wings and try something new. "She is really excited about her meaty exit storyline, which will see her character Leyla die on screen. 'She'd rather go out in a blaze of glory and be remembered."
