On Sunday, a clown came on stage and stood behind filmmaker Christopher Nolan and other members of the Oppenheimer team as they gave their acceptance speech for winning Best Picture at the British awards ceremony.
A BATAS official said, “A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final prize on stage – we are taking this very seriously, and commenting further that he will not receive any publicity.” Don’t want to give.” In a statement published by Deadline.
Presented by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Nolan’s film won in top categories including Best Director, Actor and Supporting Actor at the 77th edition of the awards.
The gatecrash moment shows a man, who had no connection to the film, climbing in with the film team standing behind him.
The identity of the man is not known, but media reports said he was a YouTuber who climbed onto the stage at London’s Royal Festival Hall as a prank.
