Alan Cumming has said the headline-making Bafta film award ceremony was “trauma triggering”, adding: “We were all let down by decisions made to both broadcast slurs and censor free speech.”
During the ceremony in London, while Sinners stars Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan were presenting the special visual effects award, Scottish campaigner John Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, shouted a racial slur, which was broadcast on the BBC.
