Sinners star Delroy Lindo has spoken in more detail about the N-word controversy at the Baftas, which saw the BBC and Bafta apologise after a racial slur shouted by Tourette syndrome (TS) activist John Davidson was broadcast on BBC One in the edited highlights of the ceremony.
Lindo, who is nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in the film, was speaking to Tonya Mosley on NPR’s Fresh Air podcast, and said that at first he didn’t take in what had happened as he took to the stage to present an award with fellow Sinners star Michael B Jordan.
