And welcome to the E British Academy Film Awards.

Thank you for joining us for this auspicious, star studded celebration of cinema in all its forms, whatever that means.

I'm Graham Norton, your host for this evening, which means there's more than one Irishman here tonight that seems to go on and on.

Now.

This is lovely.

Look, it is gathered here in the breathtaking Royal Albert Hall.

Stunning.

I think we can all agree.

Well, maybe not Prince William.

He's just liking Pick Pokey could not through royalties here.

And why not?

Because it's the rafters tonight.

It's the baftas glamour, the excitement, the length.

And now I should add, Don't be too concerned tonight because you're in safe house.

I'm not going to be mean to anyone because you might know in my other job, I'm a chat show host, which means apparently I have never seen a film I didn't really enjoy.

It's true.

I love cats.

I'm not even joking.

Was brilliant cats, but with so clever I loved it.

Prizes for acting is not that hard.

No, a huge thank you must be made to all our American friends for making the effort to come here tonight because, you know, I know it takes ages to sail across the Atlantic, doesn't it?

Yeah.

You did.

Yeah.

Thank you for caring.

It's the EQ Awards.

Ladies and gentlemen, this year, BAFTA have asked us to make sustainable fashion choices.

Old clothes.

And now I have No, I really have fun.

Fact.

This jacket is older than Florence Pugh.

I'm not even joking.

It really is, for it's it really is on that so many young nominees don't It's fantastic.

Not just Florence.

There's Jessie Buckley, Terran Edgerton.

Such a Roman, you know, And I look at you guys, Look at you guys.

And I can't help but think, Oh, if only I'd been born 30 years earlier, I'd be dead.

Now I'm not eaten away by bitterness and jealousy.

2019.

What's a year in film?

I think it will be remembered as a year when White Man finally broke through.

Yeah, they did it.

What?

I'm talking about weed.

It is high five.

High five.

Um, yes.

Bit of a chat about the older white male privilege, and you can sort of see why.

I mean 11 nominations for Joker, which is essentially the story of a white man who makes himself even whiter.

The wonderful Jo Jo Rabbit nominated water film, Adorable, a growing child and cartoonish monster is like when Greta Thornburg met Trump other great films, nominated tonight at 1917 2 Popes on the Incredible parasites off So good it really is.

I was thrilled to hear of parasites nominations that at first I didn't think it was a new category for agents.

How brilliant was.

Once upon a time in Hollywood, it takes a nostalgic look.

Back at the Hollywood of 50 years ago, what we saw was a misogynistic, male dominated industry resistant to change, taking a nostalgic look back at 50 years ago and the Irishman 10 nominations, Ladies and Gentlemen also released on Netflix, prompting director Martin Scorsese to implore people to respect the film by not watching it on their phone and didn't really need to worry being whose battery lasts that long, and the BAFTA is presented to Laura Dern for Marriage Store.

When I was six years old, my mother received this very award in this category, thanks to Mr Scorsese, and it sat on our piano and my friend asked me.

What's that mask?

And I said my mom told me that it's what friends give you to congratulate you because you get to have a job you love.

So thank you, Bafta.

Thank you for including me in this room of extraordinary artists and beloved friends as we get to tell stories and do the job we love.

So to pick up the award on their behalf Margot, Robbie, Brad couldn't be here tonight.

Dio family obligations.

So he asked me to read his response for him.

Um, okay, he starts by saying, Hey, Britain heard you just became single.

Welcome to the club wishing you the best with the devil Settlement blah, blah, blah.

He then says thank you to the academy for this extreme honor.

Hey, says he's always going to be intimidated over here, given the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Titans that have come before.

So this is especially meaningful.

He says he would like to thank produces David Heyman and Shannon Macintosh, the wild and wonderful Zoe Bell, Rob Alonso and the rest of the stunt team, the lovely Arianne Phillips for his oh so tight jeans.

I'd also like to thank for this here's old mate Simon Jones, and the one and only Quentin Tarantino are He goes on by thanking you again and blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It's a bit much, really.

And he says that he is going to name this Harry because he is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him.

His words, not mine.

Sorry, I was just told backstage that no one's getting a massive gift bag tonight.

Yeah, Instead, you're all getting a gifting wallet.

Yeah, which is funny, because that's also the nickname of my vagina.

Maybe it is.

Maybe you'll win Best original score the afterparty tonight.

Now, as grain was saying, tonight is all about sustainability.

So So I made this dress by sewing to old dresses together.

The red is from that one time I didn't win Miss Australia and the black is from a funeral.

I just went thio for the feature film cast has strangely not nominated for any awards.

I'm not sure if everyone here is across the controversy, but you see, there has been a distinct lack of nominations for felines.

Yeah, I can't even in this best director Cat.

A gory knife.

Felines have been nominated.

It's really shocking, but at least I get Thio.

Hold this bafta for a moment and, well, what a great way to stop yourself from getting Corona virus.

Sam Mendez, Mom Scorsese, Todd Phillips, Quentin Tarantino, Long joon ho.

I look at the exceptional, daring talent nominated in this category, and I don't I don't think I could do what they do.

Honestly, I just don't have the balls.

And the BAFTA is awarded to Sam Mendy's for 1917.

Thank you very much, thank you very, very much.

After in the midst of all this hoopla and stuff, it's sometimes easy to forget actual experience of shooting a movie on dhe.

I had a kind of directors paradise in this film that I think I will never, ever have again.

So I want to say a real thank you to the people who actually helped me make this film 23 Amazing produces Jane and tengan on Kala MacDougal and my dear friend I've known since I was 14 years old.

Pippa Harris, the best producers really the best, the most supportive.

Tow an incredible cast to George Mukai, who was extraordinary in this film, and Dean Charles Chaplin two.

It's a bit the classiest bunch of day players the director could ever have.

Andrew Scott, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, Richard Madden.

Incredible cast Thank you thank you to the most extraordinary crew, and especially to four people my production designer and friend Dennis Gassner to the brilliant Tom Newman for his music to the extraordinary unsung hero of this movie was Lee Smith, the editor on especially to Roger Deakins, the master himself home.

Thank you, too.

Yes, it's a war movie that we made, but it's also a movie about home on about family.

So it's moving to me to get this in my hometown for the first time and to be able to say thank you to my beautiful family to say thank you to my Children, Jo and Phoebe on the splendidly attired Charlie, who was sitting with us tonight and of course, especially to my inspiration, my beautiful wife, Allie, this is for you.

Thank you very much indeed.

And the BAFTA goes to I could be next.

Fine.

I feel very honored and privileged to be here tonight.

Baptise have always been very supportive of my career, and I'm deeply appreciative.

But I have to say that I also feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don't have that same privilege.

I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you're not welcome here.

I think that's the message that we're sending two people that have contributed S O much to our medium and our industry and in ways that we benefit from, Um, I don't think anybody wants a a handout or preferential treatment, although that's what we give ourselves every year.

I think that people just want to be acknowledged and appreciated and respected for their work.

This is not a self righteous condemnation because I'm ashamed to say that I'm part of the problem.

I have not done everything in my power to ensure that the set their work on or inclusive, but I think that it's more than just having sex that are multicultural.

I think that we have to really do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism.

Um, I, uh I think that it is the obligation of the people that have created and perpetuate and benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it.

So that's on us.

Thank you.
