BBC Acknowledges Question To Andrew Scott About ‘Saltburn’ Nudity Scene Was “Misjudged”


BBC says Andrew Scott ‘Saltburn’ Barry Keoghan nudity question was "Misjudged" from Colin Paterson at the BAFTAs.

The BBC has acknowledged that a line of questioning to Andrew Scott over the notorious nudity scene in Saltburn was “misjudged.” The broadcaster said today it had received complaints from people who felt a question asked to the All of Us Strangers star – who does not appear in Saltburn – was “inappropriate and homophobic” during Sunday’s BAFTA red carpet coverage. “Our question to Andrew Scott was meant to be a light hearted reflection of the discussion around the scene and was not intended to cause offence,” said the BBC, adding that Saltburn writer and director, Emerald Fennell, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, whose song ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ was used in the sequence, were also asked about it.
