Social Media Prankster Booted From The BAFTAs For InterruptingOppenheimer’sBest Film Speech
BAFTA strongly responded after a man, identified as a social media prankster byVariety, crashed the final category at the film awards on Sunday night. The individual joined theOppenheimerteam on stage during the award presentation. A BAFTA spokesperson confirmed the incident and made it clear the prankster was scored out immediately.
“A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final award on stage — we are taking this very seriously, and don’t wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further.”
TheOppenheimerteam, seated together on the right of the stage, walked up to collect the BAFTA award. The prankster in a black suit emerged from the opposite side of the audience and joined them on stage while Emma Thomas gave her acceptance speech.
The audience seemed unaware that he wasn’t part of the team. The confusion arose as he coincidentally appeared when Thomas was urging the rest of the cast to join them. Despite the team staying in the audience, the prankster walked off stage with them after Thomas finished her speech.
BAFTA indicated that he was then apprehended by security. The man is suspected to have disrupted awards ceremonies in the U.K. and abroad, sharing the incidents on his social media pages. Regardless, we hope such incidents never happen again.

Christopher Nolan Was Thrilled To See Steven Spielberg WatchingOppenheimer
In a conversation withVariety,Christopher Nolanshared that he presented the initial 70mm print ofOppenheimerto Steven Spielberg. Initially contacted by Spielberg for a different matter, they both coincidentally had the print. They individually screened it for Spielberg, with Nolan sitting behind him during the viewing.
“He had called me about something else and I had just got the print as well and I hadn’t shown it to anyone…we screened it for him on his own. I sat behind him and watched him watch the film. It was an extraordinary experience. He said some very kind things, but really just to watch him watch. I wasn’t even supposed to watch it with him, but seeing the great master watching? It was sort of irresistible.”
The experience was described as extraordinary, with Spielberg expressing praise. Although Nolan hadn’t planned to watch it with Spielberg, the chance to see the acclaimed director’s reaction proved irresistible.
