If the whole acting thing doesn't work out for Alan Cumming, it looks like he has a steady backup gig as the host of the Britannia Awards.
"X2" star Cumming will once again host the awards ceremony this year, the British Academy of Television Arts (BAFTA) Los Angeles said Thursday. This will mark the fourth time that Cumming will preside over the ceremony, described by BAFTA Los Angeles as the organization's "highest accolade, a celebration of achievements honoring individuals and companies that have dedicated their careers to advancing the entertainment arts."

"I'm so happy to be back hosting my fourth Britannia Awards,” the Scottish actor said. “It's 15 years since I first came to Hollywood and what better way to commemorate that than to be hosting a celebration of the best of British and Tinseltown. I'm excited to see old friends and raise a few glasses to the best in our business – and be a bit mischievous too of course.”
BAFTA Los Angeles also said that Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford and Josh Gad will be among this year's presenters.
The 2012 Britannia Awards will take place Nov. 7 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and will air on BBC America on Nov. 11.
