"the BAFTAs have real kudos"

Film Stephen Fry returns to host British Academy Film Awards. Anyone who saw his documentary about depression will know how difficult a decision this must have been for him which makes me feel even guiltier to be pleased that he's back:
"I had a marvellous time presenting the Film Awards for the first six years of the century. Hard as it may be for some characteristically sceptical Britons to believe, the BAFTAs have real kudos, reputation and cachet all over the world of film-making and I, old as I am, never cease to be shamelessly glamorised by the sight of so many legendary names who come every year as nominees and presenters."
I wonder what really led him back.
