In the meantime, travel back in time with us as The Sun Online takes a look at the show’s most shocking moments – so pour your champers and let’s delve in.
Rebel Wilson Being A Rebel
The BBC were forced to issue an apology after Rebel offended viewersRexThe BBC were forced to issue an apology after viewers were left offended by Rebel Wilson‘s opening monologue at the 2022 BAFTAs.
Rebel is known for her – to put it simply – rebellious nature so it was no surprise when the actress poked fun at Prince Andrew and dished out some controversial jibes during her hilarious speech.
“Good evening distinguished guests and those who don’t identify as that. It is really great to be here at the Royal Andrew… Royal Harry… Royal Phillip… this royal palace place” she said.
She went on: “Sam Mendes, Martin Scorsese, Todd Phillips, Quentin Tarantino and Bong Joon-ho.
“I look at the exceptional talent nominated in this category and I don’t think I could do what they do, honestly… I just don’t have the b****s.”
One joke dubbed too crude for broadcast came at the expense of Daniel Craig as Rebel declared she’d like to ‘sit on’ the James Bond star.
John Hurt Throwing A Punch In The Seventies

However, John insisted he and his friends drank within a culture that “encouraged louche, creative people” and were never binge drinkers.
But, after he won Best Supporting Actor for Midnight Express in 1979, he took a swing at a photographer, missed and ended up sprawled on the floor.
Not the most dignified situation to find yourself in, especially with a glass in your hand.
Babe The Pig In The Audience

The gorgeous little thing was even given their very own seat at the show and sat patiently throughout the very long ceremony.
Sadly the little piglet didn’t get its moment on the stage as Babe didn’t win any of the four awards it had been nominated for.
Jennifer Lawrence vs Joanna Lumley

Joanna announced: “Right let’s start giving out some of those beautiful BAFTAs shall we and we start with the award for Outstanding British Film.
“And who better to kick the whole evening off than the hottest actress on the planet.”
“Soon to be seen in Red Sparrow, it’s the ravishing Jennifer Lawrence.”
Jennifer pipped back: “Hi, that was a bit much but thank you Joanna.”
Later, Jennifer explained that it was only an inside joke but later apologised for ‘offending the whole of England‘.
Foaming Red Carpet

After a torrential rain storm turned the red carpet into a treacherous mess of soap suds, stars were forced to walk through an unexpected thick layer of foam.
Kevin Spacey while presenting an award joked that Dame Judi Dench had ruined her shoes and was holding BAFTA organisers personally responsible.
Host Stephen Fry joked: “I think it’s the years of greasy flattery given to actors which is finally bubbling up.”
Stephen Fry Fashion Faux Pas
Stephen left twitter after he offended viewers with an inside jokeRex FeaturesSpeaking of Stephen, the BAFTA host came under a torrent of fire at the 2016 BAFTAs when he mocked costume designer Jenny Beavan.
Jenny won for her costume design on Mad Max: Fury Road and collected her award in a leather jacket a baggy top and trousers.
“Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to an awards ceremony dressed as a bag lady,” Fry joked.
Despite Stephen revealing that the pair were friends, and Jenny insisting that she wasn’t offended, the backlash was so great that Stephen ended up deleting his Twitter account.
Bafta Blackout And Diversity Rage

Beasts Of No Nation star Idris Elba, who was nominated for best supporting actor, and Star Wars actor John Boyega, who won Rising Star, were shockingly the only black actors on the 2016 shortlist.
‘Creatives of Colour Network’ demonstrated at London’s Royal Opera House, with placards and banners and made their voices heard.
The BAFTAS air at 7pm on BBC1 on Sunday February 16 2025.
