- The BBC's Bafta coverage included a racial slur broadcast, prompting its director-general to order a fast-tracked investigation into the "serious mistake".
- The slur was uttered by Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson, whose involuntary tics caused him to shout during the awards ceremony.
- The BBC apologised for failing to edit the slur and subsequently removed it from iPlayer, while Bafta issued a statement acknowledging the harm caused and explaining Davidson's condition.
- Actor Delroy Lindo, who was presenting at the time, expressed disappointment that Bafta officials did not speak to him or Michael B Jordan after the incident.
- Filmmaker Jonte Richardson resigned as a Bafta judge, citing the academy's "utterly unforgivable" handling of the situation.
