BAFTAs Slam Social Media Prankster Who Crashed ‘Oppenheimer’s’ Best Film Speech: ‘We Are Taking This Very Seriously’ (EXCLUSIVE)


A social media prankster joined the 'Oppenheimer' team on stage at the BAFTAs to collect the award for best film.

The man, an alleged social media prankster who Variety has opted not to name, joined “ Oppenheimer ” director Christopher Nolan, producers Emma Thomas and Charles Roven and star Cillian Murphy on stage after Michael J. “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,” a BAFTA spokesperson told Variety. The confusion was likely partly caused because — in a lucky twist — the man began making his way onto the stage just as Thomas accepted the award from Fox and was urging the rest of the “Oppenheimer” cast — which included Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. — to leave their seats and join them.
