BAFTAs handed out. Rebel Wilson showed Putin the middle finger

The most nominations for statuettes called “British Oscars” had Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” – as many as 12 – but it ended up with five awards. The newest film by Jane Campion turned out to be the biggest winner. The production of Psie Claws, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, won the Best Picture and Best Director awards.

Rebel Wilson with a message to Vladimir Putin

– We are united with our colleagues from the Ukrainian Film Academy and we express our hope that peace will soon come. We are grateful to the journalists and filmmakers who report on the events in Ukraine. Many of them are BAFTA members, said Krishnendu Majumdar, BAFTA chairman at the beginning. – Our thoughts are now with people in Ukraine and with those affected by other conflicts around the world – he added.

The gala actress Rebel Wilson, commenting on one of the performances, mentioned that it was translated into American and British sign language. “Fortunately, in every version of sign language, this gesture is intended for Putin,” she said and pointed her middle finger to the camera. It was blurred during the BBC broadcast.
