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.
Well does anyone consider the awards are given to talented people regardless of skin colour. Playing race card to cover their failures yet again.
Que los negros hagan mejores películas y listo, saludos.
FORTY per cent of BAFTA nominees were ethnic minority - a massive over-representation in population terms, giving non-whites the best possible chance. What makes you think the eventual winners weren’t chosen on talent, or isn’t that important? BAFTA BAFTA2023 AntiWhiteRacism
Nothing to do with colour but talent, I’m sorry this nonsense is getting way out of hand now….
Winning implies you are the best. It has nothing to do with skin colour.
All white and no Cribbins
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
its about talent and good acting. not colour. no body says about adverts 99 per cent r black now its about the product.get over it.
What ? No purple or yellow or green people either
So what?
They base the winners on talent, no race or ethnicity.
Were any interloper performers denied awards who deserved one?
🤦🏼♀️
HAHAHAHA
Don't worry, it's all white, BBC. Everything is going to be OK.
The rich judge the poor.. thats how this world works now.. cronyism
I'd love to know how the South Korean version of this event went.
Well it is because the president of Bafta is a racist 🙄 also the country is full of racists.
are blackpeople ever going to quit crying?
Seriously? I mean, seriously?
That backlash would make sense if the country is China, Thailand, Uganda or Panama where the majority of the population is non-white. This makes no sense
Enjoyed….Taste fully dressed… non political….winners thank others for success and gave credit to nominations!! Classy
Get good right?
Coooome onnnnn, stop with this no sense please.
We are a majority Anglo nation. What are we to do?
Change the record.
Of course there is. Don't see them crying at the MOBOS though. They won, they are better actors stop making everything a race thing.
Waaa!
I wonder if they’ll be ‘a backlash’ at the next mens (are you allowed to say mens anymore ?) Olympic 100 mtrs final
Wait so people should be awarded based on their ethnicity instead of their talent? Don’t think so. I’m mixed & think this backlash is stupid 🤦🏻♀️
Ffs
The cream rises to the top.Simple as.
Are we making awards by sex and race these days or by performance - if it’s the latter then maybe this year these are the people who gave the best performances - just wondering
Yawn.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So POC must win even if they do not deserve it.
Perhaps if we still had the Black and White minstrel show they might have won something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one gives a toss about the colour of skin. Or does it now?
Who isn’t deserving? Speak up.
I thought it was talent that counted
So these winners shouldn't b overjoyed at winning because they don't count
So it was a Whitewash waz it 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Maybe, just maybe. I know it sounds ridiculous but I'm imagining a one in a 20 million chance that the winners were white because they were errrr..the best The forced distribution of awards is diluting the ceremonies to joke proportions.
Face backlash from who?
I making a rough stab here - but I’m hoping the winners all won on merit, not because of the colour of their skin? Nobody should win anything because of their skin colour. Are we going to be criticising the MOBO’s next because they don’t pander to white origin music enough?
This article/ tweet again? Click bait on overdrive or is the Tory culture wars commissar at the BBC screaming down orders again to stir up trouble?
Yeah, but surely at least 20% of the self-important preachy wokesters in attendance will self identify as a POC, or mixed heritage at the very least ... If they don't then we need to ask if they *REALLY* are luvvies, and question why they were actually there at all ...
Why!!!!!!!
Who from? Twitter? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
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.
Awards on merit, not on anti-Caucasian racism shock!
All awards are for the best of the best I thought. Race, colour, creed, wasn’t part of the vote! Achievements are gained through hard work. Who wants an award for pity? Would you ever really know if you won for being the best, or just given it to appease certain groups?
Two of the films that got the most awards were German and Irish. They won because they were good films, not because they didn't have black people in them. I've heard Wakanda Forever wasn't that good. Do people think they should have won a BAFTA just to add some 'colour'? 🤷♂️
Pathetic
How about they grow up.
Great to see the licence fee supporting race-baiting. Keep up the good work, chaps!
What backlash?
I thought awards were talent and quality based ... letting an actor, director, producer, cinematographer, etc., win purely based on their skin colour or ethnicity wouldn't be fair on them or the people that should have won?
Anti-white racism is getting out of hand
And to add insult to injury they failed to recognise the wonderful Bernard Cribbens.
Oh I see, I understand Woke shit now. It means you should win an award based on the colour of your skin not your actual talent.
Don’t presume they identify as white 😂
Outrage is a drug.
Is it based on talent or race?
I'm offended there's no white winners at the MOBOs
I wonder myself why in the movie Elvis was played by Austin Butler and not of a balck actor 🤭😏🤔
How many times you going to repost this tweet? Do you hate white people or something? It's not Africa, it's England.
😂
Ffs theres no runner ups if ya dont cut the cloth ya not in….
What happened to just giving the award to whoever was best that year
Who watches that garbage and who complained
Not allowed to have too many successful white people - that would be racist 🫃🏿
Surely it’s about performance not colour?
Is this lenny henry after another tv role again ? 😂i remember simon le bon making a joke at the mobo awards while presenting an award he said that duran duran never got given a mobo award he got booed 😂
Winners on their merits,.....unlike the MOBOS's
How’s the propaganda and indoctrination going at the esteemed BBC?
Ridiculous article, awards are won on merit not skin colour, shall we see the ethnicity of past mobo winners and cause a fuss, divide and conquer is the media/government narrative, don’t fall for it regardless of ya skin colour
Looking forward to the MOBO's
I have an idea. Let’s just give black people awards for their skin colour. FFS.
In Nigeria, only black people win awards, only blacks allowed on TV. But that wasn't enough. So black people endured racism and Nazism to move to white countries, then they demanded no white people are allowed to win any kind of award in white countries.
Backlash from who?
Yeah we had better dumb down everything in the country to make it fair. Smh.
I just see humans... it's a shame some just see skin colour 🤷♂️
Here's the BBC trying to stir up more trouble!
Most of the awards went to films about a German soldier during WW1 & 2 Irish dudes falling out in a remote area of Ireland, not quite sure what people were expecting? Denzil Washington in the trenches?
The winner is chosen from the four nominees by a special jury of nine academy members for each award, the members of each jury selected by the Academy's Television Committee, so take it up with then......Apart from EE Rising Star award which is public vote
BBC race baiting again.
Stop making everything about race ffs 🤦🏻♂️
My best film this year is TillMovie and a special shout out for BAFTA nominee and AAFCA award winner best actress DanielleDeadwyler Absolutely wonderful, heartbreaking, timely movie. Everyone should see this film.
Are you having a laugh? Yeah, let's not give awards due to merit anymore, let's give awards just to tick the right boxes. Flippin Norah 🤦♂️
as you sow, so shall you reap
What color are the voters?
82% white people in England. So statistically likely any event will be dominated by white participants.
Usual coloured folk complaining?
If there is anything to promote cultural trouble and encourage racism this is it. People I know who have been so measured have had enough.
People having white skin Is very problematic For the BBC. Awards to white people, Based purely on achievement Need to be phased out.
Just more shit stirring by the media
Why?
It's a blacklash!
what's up! are we not allowed to be good at what we do anymore? if it's good it's a winner, colour doesn't come into it.
Racist whites will never mix unconditionally with any race no matter what you do whites will always be whites
Maybe... just maybe, their work was better. Or do Award institutions have to lower their standards to ensure everyone is a winner, No matter what.
Pathetic
Pathetic
Quick google…. Asian awards or African awards, Mobos etc. Move on nothing to see.
Why don’t BAFTA just tell the minorities to stop being entitled and annoying?
Why? Is there a backlash at the MOBO awards when every year they (intentionally) have all black winners?
Wtf has skin colour got to do with anything? Stop making everything a race issue. Maybe these people were just the best of the bunch? Just because they're white doesn't mean anything! Stop manipulating! IncitingRacism
Fck o.f
Would the BBC be happy if a few of them identified as black? You seem neck deep in identity politics so I suspect this would work for you.
This really is taking things too far. Awards were given on merit. Are you suggesting that actors of ethnic minorities are given a golden pass to an award?
Awards are ridiculous anyway.... But if u inist on having them they must always go to the nominees whose peers think are best.
A new award like BAFTA, but the awards are based on how non-white the contestants are.
Every one of those people will rush to call themselves an ally yet not a single one saw anything wrong with this picture as they stood there proudly showing off their trophy.
Maybe those white folks are just better. Maybe have two awards next time. One for Black and one for White. No one can complain then
Cancel this business immediately!
Mobo award winners from 2020. Who won on merit. I searched previous years too. All successful and all won on merit. I thought nothing else. I also did this with the baftas and thought nothing else. Media narratives like these can cause unrest and disorder.
BBC, chuff off, chuff off again then chuff off some more!
Get a grip! this is completely ridiculous
It’s got absolutely zero to do with race, it’s about who is best not skin colour. If the winners were all non white would we be having this story? Absolutely NO
Maybe because they were better 🙄
Race baiting again comrades?
Well if the baiting doesn’t work enough just keep posting it until you’re happy
What's new ? Truth will always prevail
Its about the quality of the work not the colour of the skin. Yes argue whether one film is better than another (the I like it business) thats normal but lets not make this a race issue for goodness sake .🤦
40% of nominees were non white? Wow. That’s far too many.
Backlash by who, not seen anyone complain except race baiting 'journalists'
Ah well
So people should now be given awards based on skin colour rather than acting ability? What is the world coming to?🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Winners should be on merit not colour
Couldn't possibly be based on acting ability could it ?
There’s not enough space for all of yous. Chill. Next year. We will alternate. Lucky they’ve female winners.
It's a British award show. How the fuck else was it going to go.
in fairness. because you are a person of colour shouldn’t mean you are entitled to a Bafta award. Perhaps if talent pool were larger by attracting people of colour the headline would be a different type of click bait?
Backlash from who? We cannot live in a world where we quota wins based on skin colour..for a start that would reduce the amount of non whites winning! BBC stop promoting this Nonsense. This and removing gender always hits a brick wall.
Pretty sure some of them identify as black so that’s ok.
‘Ethnic group A only received awards because of their race.’ ‘Ethnic group B should have received awards because of their race.’ Apparently racism is only bad if you pick the wrong race.
Oh shut up 😂
Congratulations on being black here’s your award?
As a non-White person this is ridiculous. Winning should be based on merit, not inclusivity. I would find it offensive if I was given a “win” for the sake of my race. Unless you can actually give examples of where POC should have won over White people, your point is ridiculous.
Like anything with this, I’d like to think people won based on merit! I get maybe there could’ve been more diverse nominations, but it should always be based on merit. Just hope there isn’t any agenda behind it
Bafta awards are for talent, I think.
Whoooaaaaa only British people won the British tv and film awards Inconceivable!
85% of people in UK are white. Seems BBC is assuming mathematics = racism.
Maybe they were the best, talent is what it’s about not colour.
