The 76th edition of the #BAFTAs took place last night in London. From emotional speeches to hilarious blunders, these are the moments everyone’s talking about from the 2023 BAFTA Film Awards: 🧵(1/6)

Warm, witty and elegant, Richard E. Grant was always guaranteed to be a charming BAFTAs host. Forget sharp-tongued jibes: the actor kicked things off with a humorous skit with Steve Martin, not to mention rocking up to the red carpet in the Batmobile. Legend. (2/6)

After the recent earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria, many stars – including Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett and Angela Bassett – showed their solidarity with displaced people around the world by wearing the blue #WithRefugees ribbon. (3/6)

Ageing Better

@Ageing_Better

Yesterday was the #BAFTAs

While it’s wonderful to see films like ‘Living’ and ‘Everything, Everywhere All at Once’ featuring older characters in major roles, this is unfortunately is quite rare..

THREAD (1/5)🧵

In fact, our new research shows that only 10% of characters aged 50 or older who featured in a British film in the last year were involved in a major plotline.

This is despite this age group making up half of UK adults. (2/5)

Our research also that older women and older adults from minority ethnic backgrounds have a particularly raw deal when it comes to representation.(3/5)
