- Wunmi Mosaku, star of Sinners, expressed profound distress after the BBC failed to censor a racial slur during its broadcast of the Bafta film awards.
- Mosaku stated the incident "cast a shadow" over her recent win for Best Supporting Actress, making the period "very difficult".
- The slur was reportedly shouted by Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson as her co-stars Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award.
- She criticised the BBC's decision to air the slur, questioning why it was left in despite a two-hour broadcast delay and the show being advertised as family-friendly.
- BBC Director-General Tim Davie has since expressed "profound regret" over the incident, with the broadcaster initiating a "fast-tracked investigation" into the "serious mistake".
