The Bafta Awards have come under fire, after all the winners at its film ceremony on Sunday were white.
Marcus Ryder, director of consultancy at the Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity, said Sunday's results were "quite depressing", and showed there had been "no substantial change" over the past decade.
So people want a genuine award based on their COLOUR? That’s putting real validity on the award. I can see it now the backlash on the token ethnic award given NOT because of their performance but because of their colour! Are people of colour not getting suspicious of awards
More identity politics
I wonder what your headline would be if it was 'all black' who won !!!! I know..... ' New Zealand have won the baftas'. Jesus christ would you all get over this shite once and for all.
Losers!!!!!
Yes it is ridiculous they are all white. Come on really.
What’s it matter ? - actors actresses and all who do their job to please us & earn a living. Why look at race / gender / age / anything. We’re all just people. Just enjoy the film and be happy for the winners
It doesn't matter if you're good at anything, if you deserve to win anything, as long as all boxes are ticked that's all that matters these days. Whether it's getting a job or winning an award or recognition for anything. 🤷
They get Paid handsomely for their work, do they also need an award. 🙄
Looks like some other groups need to try harder, in my objective opinion
Here’s a weird thought…. Best person won 🤷♀️ just wait til next year when BAFTA goes gender neutral and then no women’s win either, total melt down. It’s luvvies voting for their luvvies mates. Change the panel or let the public vote or dump it!
We should never Kidd ourselves…. as it will never change. It’s disappointing to see! 😢
I haven’t seen Tár yet, but it will be difficult to be better than Woman King…
Get over it, if non white actors/directors/producers didn’t produce the goods then why would it be expected they would be nominated for any award.
Who watches this shit? British white people awarding British white people for being white and mediocre in British film and television.🥱
Well looks like they are right, the royal family are racists!
Done
Pathetic, yes it was planned. Cancel the aft awards immediately. Just Sto me with this rubbish
Perhaps just perhaps you weren't Good enough to win.. try harder
Can we please stop The winners are the winners. Enough with the virtue nonsense. Also, despite the look of the populations in cities, the UK is still about 85% Caucasian so this is the likely outcome, simply on statistical probabilities.
I would love to know how this happens repeatedly....and it's never looked into . Who makes these decisions for the awards ?
Who do you blacks think you are anyway?!!! Why don't white people get dwp benefits I wonder? Maybe it's because we are white!!! 😠😠😠
Oooooh stop playing the race card! You boring twt$ 😠 yyaawwwnnnn 😴 💤💤💤💤💤
Oh dear 😅 what a pathetic headline. Why do the run this nonsense? Whose complained? Where is the backlash?
For those who are talking about The MOBO’s. The MOBO’s are for music of black origin not for black people. And non-blacks have won in the past.
The big winners were The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet On The Western Front. Both modern masterpieces. One set in 1920s Ireland and one set in WW1. Diversity not a major factor in either of those films. What do people expect?
Absolute joke ,if you win ,you win ,it's getting so silly now ,
Maybe they were better than everyone else? Just a thought!
Is this a meritocracy or just some bullshit award like the Oscar that we hand to whoever because feelings?
Oh dear never mind 😂😂😂
Why is it always about race?!?!?
Yeah. I noticed that.
If they are the best then they are the best Get over it you sad parasites
Why aren’t we celebrating how great these artists are to have beaten all the other nominees. Oh I know why 😂😂 fullofshit
Oh for heavens sake
So if we have a brilliant white actor and a not so good black actor we automatically have to pick the black actor to keep everyone happy 😳
This is hilarious-load of woke lefties criticised by other woke lefties
just go BBC News way no one cares what you think just do your job and report the news facts
Instead of just saying only white people, highlight justification for another person winning. Maybe these were the most deserving.
The BBC seem desperate to obliterate white people. Almost every presenter, news reader, reporter etc are minorities. Why in England is it such a crime to have white skin? Is this a Global Initiative? Is Saudi and African TV full of white people? Seems legit as 80% of pop is white
Omg stop it
Only the best wins purely on Talent not ethnicity
I mean I’d get it if the population was split 50/50 in terms of ethnicity, but like 82% of the UK are white.
Why, surely the best candidate in each Category won. If it was all black should there be the same back lash ?
Sorry awards based on talent ,not on sexual tastes ,coulor if they where born in Sunderland

We need to stop the nonsense, there were many good nominations only one can win....
Surely the awards are decided on merit. For example if the Elvis film hadn’t been produced and instead a film about Louis Armstrong many of the awards would have gone to black actors.
Should it be a box-ticking exercise instead, selecting the winners? Whilst we’re at it, let’s make sure they each differ in practising religion and have varying disabilities. Are any non-binary? No? BAFTA Awards must be hating on the LGBTQA+ community too then. Come on, people…
Blacklash - when race is always made to be the issue, even when it isn’t.
I don’t care what colour they are if their good their good. On another note, if they want to be seen not to discriminate, they should have a larger proportion of minorities as judges. That might help.
Wouldn’t it be worse if non white winners only won because of their skin colour? It should be the best person won regardless.
Oh please! Where are the people with disabilities!!
Jesus !!! Isn't it meant to be about who put in the best performance, not skin colour. Are we going to give out awards now just not to upset anyone?
I really don't like when race is brought into something, when it shouldn't. I wonder what they are saying about the German Film that won the majority of the awards.
Do we do this at the MOBO Awards? Do we say where are the white winners?
Because when they get a black person to do a film about race or they got the part cause of their race, the film flops when they bring the political shit into films the film doesn’t do well 👀 Go woke go broke and don’t win awards lol
Act better, do better. It's called competition.
Wow what next the animal acting awards to be blasted for non binary, black dogs not getting awards. What happened to the best person wins for their talent not their skin colour or should we give it to a bad black performer over a great performer. What is happening to the world?
What was Bafta supposed to do? Give an award to undeserving person? Is that not discrimination against white folks? (Am brown btw) .. this backlash is wokeism diluting the essence of level playing field.
yawn more of this rubbish
So? Maybe they were the best and they won. This type of crap just further creates division…
I must have been wrong all these years, I thought the film industry bought those pretentious awards to boost sales and allow actors to spout some obscure and absurd agendas that they don't live by themselves 😆 🤣 😂
This is beyond ridiculous... By this rhetoric you can challenge and criticise any sport , social event, production or completion for lack of ethic diversity. WTF. Who's pushing this dangerous agend through ?
Did we have a no woman nominees at the brits last week, so over this shite
On plus note, people with orange 🍊 hair were represented.
Maybe just maybe they were the best performers in their chosen category.
Can someone provide examples of people that should have won but didn't? I'd like to see clear examples if bias before we start claiming discrimination. It's just possible the best did in fact win! Let's have evidence before we start complaining
Backlash from whom...? the ones that didn't win? Surely, awards are made on merit.
law of averages means this was the most probable outcome. if there was a room full of 90 black people & 10 white people, and there were 10 prizes all went to white people then you'd have a point. but thats not how it is. these people will always find a way to use the race card
Some of the faces were pink.
For gods sake!! Enough already.
Sick of hearing it surely they got it on there own merit not the colour of skin
Have you brought on the race industry to explain why all white actors are evil and how just the action of getting out of bed in the morning entitles a black actor to an Oscar or BAFTA. Oh and why Merit is a sin.
Why is there a problem if the winners are all white?! When winners are all black on music awards shows does anyone complain?! Just stop this politically correct woke foolishness.
Sooo would a person of colour be happy to win the award based on the colour of their skin or their talent. Stop throwing that card when it doesn't go your way
Race baiting bullshit.
In a country where stuff like this is thought, I’m not surprised in the least. Bet at least one or two of them on the board are sympathetic to this kind of bigotry and convinced the rest in the selections. Welcome to BigotedBritain
Bafta chairman 'Krishnendu Majumdar told the New York Times he wants 'to level the playing field', but that recognition 'has to be on merit'.' At one stroke, he cements the racist message that only White performers 'merit' the awards! Jeeez. No wonder the winners were all White!
Diversity can’t be forced for awards based on talent!
It is not award for color
What a surprise! Simple...because only White members have the talent! No? It's a human fact that people with the power tend to recruit, recognise and reward those who look like them and reflect them. Hence why racism and sexism are entrenched in the social system.
There was a time when the BAFTAs were awarded solely on merit. Now there’s a backlash because they were awarded on merit. If the winners were mixed, what winner wouldn’t wonder if they just got an award for the colour of their skin ? What’s the point of these awards now now?
give any black person a medal for participating and problem solved
To be honest I just judge films overall- ones ive enjoyed and ones not so much. So many people are involved in making a film I'd rather just see awards for the films rather than single out the actors. They get recognition financially and being picked for other roles
So the BAFTAS are voted for by BAFTA members, of which there are 7000 of there abouts. The published their membership representation figures a while ago. Quite representative
So?! Maybe because the black folks are too busy to pick on them white fold they haven’t got time to actually do anything
Where was Lenny Henry’s ?
A little bit too woke
People who say that are racist
Why? We’re they the best? What’s the problem then?
Hang on , that’s a sweeping statement …. You can’t say some one is whit because they look white they may identify as another ethnicity 🙄
But … But … Maybe some of them “identify” as, “OTW” (other than white). giggles quietly to himself 😎😎😎
So WINNING no longer refers to competition, it is about ethnicity? Do we need to rethink the Olympics then?
Few could have painted some colours on them 😏
Give them a chance. The minority take over of TV only happened in the last twelve months.
Because participation trophies seem important to them at these ego trips.
Surely the best people win regardless of colour?
Imagine winning an award just because of your enthnicity
Is woke racist now? Didn't the winners win as that's who was voted for? You want a balance of race? Colour? Creed? Religion? Did they ask what their religion is before voting? You would like participation awards for all? Enough already
So it’s only a group of talented people if it’s coloured? How racist is that!
Can I complain about track & field 100/200/400m winters 🤔
This is racist against white people be pleased for are success snowflakes
If Denis Norden were still here he could have hosted it ‘it’ll be all white on the night’
Why,
Oh fo,
Really? Some people need to get over themselves. Maybe Awards should be stopped, so they'll have one less thing to moan about. Those who were Best In Year actually won, and so it should be.
This is getting tedious now. Whoever wins it's always an issue. Just give everyone an award...
Do you think it might be because the blacks aren’t good enough
So what? Aren’t awards supposed to be given on merit? Who are the people giving a backlash over this? Where are they
Yeah how about all of those black folks winning in Basketball... It's obviously racist too 😐
Bore off! Nobody won anything based on the colour of their skin.
Only from racists
There’s no Chinese or Asian either. Honestly Bafta you really need to pay closer attention to ticking those boxes
Always moaning, in this country we never get it right. Too many white winners and then not enough white people crossing the channel in small boats. Ignore our national sports teams
I was waiting for this😆😆it’s a BLACKLASH😆😆
Yes the Royals don’t like People of Colour ! they even had a Black singer on and i swear it was the worst music i ever heard in my life 🙄
If you’re good enough you win ? Simple !
Oh Woke, up yers
Backlash from who ? Winners are chosen on merit not to fulfil some woke agenda like the majority of the trash produced by bbc these days.
Typically a bbc thing to post
Lucy St Louis
Melissa James
Not every sector will reflect our nation's ethnic mix - why should it? Would there be a similar furore over awards for music or sport if these didn't reflect our nation? Change and opportunity are due but to expect all sectors to be there now is not realistic. Class is next btw
Lily Frazer
Is someone paid for coming up with that? Reading the names, or looking at them, there is one alarming fact! Who the hell are they? People seem to be set in light
Or once, it's a good description of demographics. Looking at football as a contrast.
The two films that rightly dominated this year's awards were set in 1920s Ireland and First World War Germany. That's going to have quite a say on the ethnicity of this year's winners
Wonder what why it’s the Bafta Awards… baffling.
Nobody cares 😴
If your there only because of the colour of your skin and not your talent, you may as well just stop all the awards. They have become meaningless.
Why! they were all black not so long ago.
🤣
Thank goodness it isn’t run by the BBC or any London borough council.
Well I'm pissed, that there are only black award winners at the BET Awards. WTH!!
people who won are the winners end of story
This has to be a joke
I would hate it if I received an award on the colour of my skin, a total insult !
Yet the MOBO is fine. Equality at its finest.
Stop this move on
Cheeky cts the ones moaning are the ones for all black awards hypocrites
Here we go again 🙄
This is outragiois! How can people give awards based on talent It should be based on skin color these days!! Also, they are british awards, it's like being upset if in an african award ceremony most winners were black but ok
Perhaps the best in category actually were the best?
So they go over the top and the award winners are made up entirely of people that tick boxes? 🤔🤦
For heaven’s sakes!!
Why the backlash?! The winners were all white because they were the best on the categories judged. The blacks must stop winging and improve themselves and compete on a even level and be judged on merit. Life isn't about black white, it is about performance on open competitions.
Backlash from who? Racists?
How racist can you get? So now you want to give out awards based on people’s skin color? That’s abhorrent.
RacistAssBritain
Perhaps it’s just because they were the best? 🤷♂️
Any chance this may have been because they were just better? Maybe everyone needs to stop looking at peoples’ skin and start looking at talent again? It’s not like a person of colour hasn’t ever won an award?
Awards go to who earned them simple
Perhaps they didn’t win cause they just weren’t good enough 🤷♀️
Here we go again.🙈
Just maybe there were no blacks worthy? Blacks need to accept they can't be part of everything, any more than I can.
Heres a quote for you! 'well done the winners of all the awards, each one of you worked hard and deserved it'
Oh thank you sir. I have been protecting the White Man, and Uncle Sam for eternity. God Bless you. G is my creation. I’m sorry life is hard. ♥️
Could it just be that they were better first or actors why is every fucking thing about race ffs
I'm african. But why is everything about race these days, what happened to competence and merit. If we continue like this, I won't be wrong to say that our generation is more racist than in the 20th century.
What's the issue? Latinos, Blacks, Asians &ians have separate exclusive awards shows (music, art, film); TV access channels (BET, OWN); language channels; separate lucrative film markets (Bollywood!). Different cultures have different tastes. White people can win too, right?
😂
And most of them are young. Will you blame them for that, too? Pick the best of the year, no matter what race.
😂😂😂😂now you want award to be based on colour of skin?
Nobody cares
I did want Michelle Yeoh to win.
White. White. You're bloody well White, you've got a bloody right to say.
whats wrong with that? this is just a british award, not even internationally recognised… the rest of the world are not bothered… if there are more whites in britain, nothing wrong to see whites…
Say the bame channel. Well they would do.
So whether they deserve it or not just like it’s the norm these days to have atleast one black actor in every movie or tv series.. You gotta give them. Else, we are all racist. This theory itself is reverse racism. 😏
More fake outrage…

Racist Brit’s, what a shocker. Why were the Royal grifters and Jeremy Clarkson in that photo 😂😂
Isn’t it based on their performance not their colour . Because if not I’d give mine back
Look… if truly minorities deserved an award because of merit then BAFTA selection of winners was biased but if not then so be it. Cannot force equity just because 😏
FFS!
And what about their ethnic background should that not be an important element also not just race?
I demand that the 100 m final have at least 50 percent Indian, white and Asian runners.
But they all identify as a different race.
Yaaay! Bafta White Awards!
Similar problem with the African continental film awards .... not one award presented to a white face. Outrageous yet unreported!
But did they really win? If they deserve it, then it’s fine.
Merit? Anybody?
Hope licence fee did not pay for any of this or any so called award shows.
Award ceremonies in Africa and Asia mysteriously have winners of all black and brown 🤔 What a bunch of racists
Everyone is getting sick of this. It’s a meritocracy, everything should be a meritocracy. I see no good coming from this insulting and activist journalism. We live in the most progressive society ever where being black and trans garners every headline.Stop this anti-white bashing
We’ll just fix the results next time then.
That’s what you get with equality of opportunity not with equality of outcome. You don’t see women on a building site either.
The main films that won were about Germany and Ireland over 100 years ago .. There wasn’t a whole lot of diversity in those days. 🤷♂️
Irish are not white
If they won fair & square so what.
Is this a surprise? I thought Black Brits ran to the US for roles because of lack of diversity in the UK.
Some PEOPLE just can’t be happy !!! Woke CNTS always have to find a problem with the colour of the skin of the winners
Did they do an In Memorium? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Give it a rest!
Everything always gets brought back to race and colour. Maybe just maybe the best people won….
Well, in that case, they should follow primary schools and give everyone an award.
Isn't the Anglosphere majority white? You'd expect results like this.
Is there really a backlash or is this just the opinion of the BBC ?
Possibly due to the lack of talent available, or, now this might sound silly, not good enough to win anything, WOW crazy right.
🤦♂️ really let’s just pick the best of the best and not worry about color or gender.
What's wrong with being white?
Now tell us how many of those went to Private Schools. Its not race that is the issue its wealth inequality. You lift up the poorest and marginal communities will benefit, BUT do not leave behind the poor white kids... or you end up with right wing governments.
Again
Here we go age
The ABBC (Anti) would be more accurate. Nothing but identity politics as usual. Race baiting BS.
This is UK, right? Where 85% of the population is 'white?' Yet, here you are, attempting to make something mathematical into something divisive. RaceBaitBBC
You don't see people moaning when all the medalists in Olympic sprint events are black do you? There are white athletes but often aren't as good. So they don't win. same here, You'll win if your performance is good enough. There are great black film makers who have won awards.
Outrage squad is at it again.
You must have a problem with colour, disgusting!!!!!🌿
maybe, just maybe, they were the worthy winners? is that possible?
Talent is not what matters. Race is what matters in the minds of these Western neo-racists.
Reading the feed to see who says (those doing the voting/choosing), are non bias. And that the winners won because we live in a meritocracy.
Really? Who invented to film, who invented the camera & sound systems, who invented the theatres & invested huge sums of money in it for years BAME people will undoubtedly have invented some such in their own countries, let them go there
The indigenous British population is white. Take the kids
Just give everyone participation trophy like school kids.
We'll be scared to win anything,unless black 😡
Oh for God sake, here we go again, seriously it shouldn’t be on the news. They one with their acting not because they’re white for chrissake.
Why, the people who run the show don't control who gets voted for. The viewers vote for their favorites so if you have to yell at someone then yell at them. As far as movies everyone in this movie was totally AMAZING 🤩 these women WIN in my opinion 😍! The Woman King
You have just assumed all of their race. Did you ask each of them if they identified as white? One I see might identify as a clown.
They rewrote whole sections of the rules to make it more pro minorities and they still didn't win. Surely they must now understand its not a race issue?
Time to stop judging on ability..
Gotta have the quotas for equity.
I do find it interesting how the BAFTAs have failed to recognize diversity similar to how the United States is pressured to do so.
Maybe just maybe the white people that won were just better just a thought
Maybe the black actors need to improve their acting abilities? Awards go to the best…not based on color.
I am a transgender pansexual ethnic minority so I automatically qualify for an award. What liberal clap trap!
Surely awards are given on merit and not skin colour
They wanted to match Kate’s dress
Boo hoo... Awards are given because of how the person or group performed, not by the color of their skin. Tired of these overly sensitive people claiming its racism. Do a better job and you might get a damn award.
White Supremacy city. Funny how the Saudis OWN ENGLAND NOW🤣🤣🤣
Backlash from who? A few Twitter sjws?
Guess that’s a brexit win then…
let the best actors win irrespective of race! all actors in UK are white. Hope the exclusion of blacks is not a reflection of the opinions of the uncle presiding over ceremony who threatens and refuses to acknowledge his mxd race nephew and niece?
Why would you want an award just based on your skin colour 🤷🏻
Get VAR in !!!
Why do people just keep seeing skin colour, and not people 🤷♂️
The best in each category should win despite colour, sexuality whatever. People shouldn't be having to think they have to pick nominees based on that. It undermines the merit of the awards and if that is the case they should be dropped
Why?
Beautiful faces.
More entitlement by our enriching gimmegrants.
Never watch it
If only there had been an award for best performance in a sofa advert. Problem solved.
Yawn
So English of them.
Of course the awards are no based solely on merit. The bias of the panel plays a part. The fact that the majority of the comments don't see a problem is exactly THE problem. Well done to all the minority nominees that turned up on the night. Not easy 👏👏👏
At least there’s a ginger winner there at the front
Black people were nominated and the best person wins. I don't see anything unfair in that at all. It's how it goes.
Rubbish. If you have the talent you get the prize
Why should colour make any difference? All that matters is that the best person won the relevant awards? Same old nonsense! There are things that are more relevant then race,sexuality, gender & anything else you’ve added to yr bullsht agenda pushes since I gave up on you
They are always complaining; try a country with more people of their own colour if it upsets them. They don't complain when mostly people of colour get awards. even though statistically more white live here.
This is once again just ridiculous. Why can’t people just focus on the performance rather than who the actual person is? It’s the same as separating the art form from the artist themselves. Too many snowflakes in this world honestly.
ffs 🤦🏻♂️
And people say unconcious bias doesn't exist
Scrap this luvvy fest.
Do you have a problem with white people? You wouldn’t have dared published this story if all the winners were black. Maybe you’re the racists!?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn't they have Alison Hammond co-presenting it ?
Didn't even notice tbh.
The BAFTA lot messed up a lot this year…
A bit patronising..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤡🌎
Why can't people just see the actors/actresses for what they are:- actors & actresses; regardless of their colour. And if you're not good enough to win, then you don't get a prize - simple. Get over y'rselves!
Let’s say somehow it is the case that the 49 winners were the best in all the fields then is highlights a massive problem with participation and opportunities for non-white people within the global film industry. It’s also likely the panel is mostly white and has trouble relating
What a load of crap. Absolute bull💩
Never fucking happy are they? Just go back to the normal way of giving awards to male and female anyone with a problem with that then it’s your problem ,stop fucking everything up and dragging everyone down.
And?!?! 🤷♂️
It should be whoevers the best regardless of race, gender or sexuality.
🤣🤣🤣 saw that coming
Hilarious. Just give everyone a participant ribbon & call it the day.
So, they weren't good enough to win. Do you think there should be quotas, so that, potentially any dross could win?
Well im sick of all black winners at the Mobo’s
Was there a backlash last year?
Next year they should have a category for adverts. Guaranteed 100%
It’s based on talent not colour .
you don’t win based on skin colour
Oops.
Oh God. So just give something to a token person of colour to appease the mob? Nah. They have to earn it like everyone else.
Indeed all are R******
Whos the ice cream in the middle?
Dear world. This ain't black people making an issue.
Bafta awards are not participation trophies. Best talent wins.
More anti white propaganda from our state broadcaster...
The best get awards irrespective of creed or colour.
Heeeere we go.
Here we go again.🙄
It is simply unacceptable these days to select winners based on talent, quality or performance.
It's like England moaning that they should of won the world cup......except the little fact that they just weren't good enough....
Perhaps we should split categories by race instead of sex. Similar thing worked for the Brits.
I do not really think this award is meritoriously based. If we think it was, good for the organisers. That IDRIS ELBA is not one of the winners speaks a lot about the AWARD. I don't think he cares anyway!
so?
Why do blacks yearn for white peoples acceptance? White people ignore my group (Latinos) and we are very happy they do. We do for ourselves. Maybe blacks should learn self reliance.
😹
Only the BBC could report on how racist being white apparently is. The BBC doesnt report news. Its trying to tell you what to think rather than telling you to think. Woke drivel.
Oh f*ck off!! Would you have the same headline if it was all coloured people?!! No. Stop making a story out of nothing
Are they saying that they should ignore merit and give awards based on race to fill some quota?
There will always be winners and losers and the day when we decide our winners and losers by sex or creed or colour is the day we should pack it in.
So damn racist
Wonder if an all black cast of winners would have received the same reception…
It doesn't go on deserved now then, it goes on colour. Why both having it
Avatar won the award for best special effects, those people are blue.
Backlash from the usual suspects 🙄
BBC race baiting continues.
Ok. The problem has been highlighted. What now? Do the winners apologetically hand them back? Do we have a VAR for live events where the crowd shout ‘Put it back!’ Like a bloody village fete raffle? Try ‘Congratulations to the BAFTA winners’ for a headline
I saw the Black film & Music awards there was no White winners their.
Bore off
Maybe they should have called it “Blacklash” 🤷🏻♂️🙂
Can you imagine working so fucking hard all your life as an actor.. Hitting a key role, working hard to nail that role then finding out you got an award because you're black.
Oh get a grip! Countrys a joke! So soft!
Oh for god's sake! Enough now!
There is one white man who deserved to win.....Brendan Fraser...in The Whale....maybe Hollywood loves him more..and give him a few statuettes
Aren’t they based on talent, the person with best talent should win otherwise they are meaningless
Yawn
I don’t care if they’re all Inuit lesbians - just as long as the most-deserving person wins. Merit over melanin.
Why 🤷♂️
Oh FFS 🤦🏼♀️
Lenny Henry is a prat who cares what he thinks, it's no wrong to be white, be the best and win
Maybe they were just the best artists Or should we just give the award to a useless actor because they are ?
And only one with ‘red’ hair 🤣
If you are not careful, awards will end up like Eurovision, all political and not judged on talent
Backlash from who BBC?
What about the Mobo’s then ? You don’t say fuck all about them
Was there more men than women or more straight than gay. Someone just wants to take the glory away from the true talent. They are talent awards not race, colour etc etc. What would be the right number of each that would be acceptable then?
It’s Britain.
What an overwhelming obvious setup! To inshore more anger amongst the people. Keeping you all divided! Do you truly believe that the very people who push the for equality would knowingly! Only have white supremacy, pardon the pun! Not racist! Not sorry!
Yeah win
Disgraceful. They should have had at least one token non white even if he / she / them / it was a shite actor. Come to think of it was the LGBTQ+ ACDEFHIJKMNOPRSUVXYZ community represented? 🤔
I knew this was going to happen as soon as it finished last night. stop all the crap those that won did it on talent not the colour of their skin
Backlash for not having a token black person? So we just giving away awards then just go be politically correct to tick a few boxes?
Backlash from who? The actors that did not win or Leroy from south london
Yeah, then they say contributions made to the world are by white people.
Was there any Ginger haired winners. If not I’m complaining 😂😂
I'm not surprised. Look who's in charge
Isn’t winning on merit ?
No surprise there, it will never change. By the way I’m black!
Here we go. YOU get a BAFTA and YOU get a BAFTA and YOU get a BAFTA and YOU get a BAFTA! Participation trophies all round. Cheers!
INSANE. If 80% of the winners were Black, the woke liberal left would've insisted that Bafta winners should only be Black. Next it'll be you can't say films used to be in black and white because a White supremist media and film industry failed to represent enough Blacks then.
Michelle Yeoh should’ve won best actress
Batfa means blacks atfa awards crying. Pathetic journalism.
Now there’s a surprise, nothing new. As a black individual, I don’t want to see stuff like this. Why? Because it will never change no matter how much noise is made.
Aye but Did any of them *identify* as black? 🤦♂️🤦♂️😳😳🤣🤣
Black actors have triumphed in the past it does not follow that a black actor or director etc will triumph at every BAFTA. Otherwise it's tokenism not talent?
White people are NOT allowed to win anything anymore.
Well done to everyone
A couple of the Usual Suspects objecting to affirmative action for ALL awards isn’t a backlash Type that demand Lenny Henry is recognised as a funny, and a great actor
Is there any evidence to suggest that they won, just because they were white?
Perhaps it's because they were the best at what they do ...
Yawn 🥱
Surely it’s voted on acting not colour of the skin ffs
I'd like to complain that Helen Mirren was cast as the Queen and not Viola Davis!
Here we go again.. so what!!!! the talent was simply… TALENT.
Jeesus christ man. This is all a load of crap. The sooner humans r one single colour and look, the better. 🙄🤔. Fast forward 200 yrs.
Surely it’s purely on quality not race? Im zero % racist, but surely “having” to have none white winners is both unfair to “the best” & token derogatory to the none white winner? If none whites are overlooked that’s not on, but HAVING to have a none white winner isn’t on either
Did anyone watch the entertainment at the Superbowl? Didn’t hear much about that.
Colour has nothing to do with it,its all about how talented the person is. How many'of colour' will moan about the MOBO awards ! I rest my case.
AND they forgot the passing of Bernard Cribbins!
The anti white brigade again it’s based on talent not colour, I thought it was the most inclusive award’s I’ve ever seen and the biggest winner was a foreign film which was a brilliant film
No one cares except for the people standing in the photo with the adult pretender trophy.
Why would there be a backlash ? It’s not done with malice it was obviously done because they were the right choice. You can’t choose a winner on the colour of their skin - that is wrong. People, actors etc have to win on merit not colour.
And no women
Good grief all Germans. Note to the woke generation that’s a joke. Try cracking your face
Choosing people for anything other than their character or ability is still racism. These continuous rows ensure that future minority winners will look like tokenism
Get over it ffs
Ffs 🙄so white people can't win awards anymore
Nobody moans there’s no white candidates in the mobo awards
Do the hand wringers want coloured folk to win on merit or tokenism ?
Maybe the white actors were simply better than the black ones? Anyone thought of that? Why do we always have to make it a race issue...?
I'm starting a backlash about the backlash
In the future they should set aside a certain percentage of awards for all ethnicities and races and genders. They’ll have to create lots of new categories and I guess the show would have to run a lot longer. But equity.
Bafta is now Barf-ta,
Serious question, is there a person of colour that was better than any I'd those that won? I genuinely don't know as I don't watch that garbage.
Was backlash the film about the drummer…I thought that was good
Simple solution have awards for black people only. There is awards for MOBO so why not acting?
Bafta isn't the MOBOs..
Why ? Defund the BBC and this woke face baiting crap. You’re a disgrace to journalism.
id understand if the batfa’s were held in africa..
Stop stirring for gods sake.
well done to the winners, lets stop using this like other high profile events to politicise hatered, if some didnt win there is always next time..
Meanwhile… MOBOAwards
So how should the best be chosen ?
Yaaaaay, we’re still the best👍🥳🥳🥳🥳
