The places will be set so nominated actors in the same category will not sit alongside one another and all will be placed so they can easily access the stage should their name be called as a winner.
Bafta CEO Amanda Berry, who has organised the ceremony for the past 17 years, told Hello! magazine that attention to detail is paramount.
She said: 'If you are celebrating excellence, everything around it has to be excellent.'
She added that getting everything ready for the night is 'massive jigsaw'.
