The BAFTAs 2024 viewers fume as David Beckham refers to 'soccer' instead of 'football' while presenting gong: 'It's a British awards show!'


The BAFTAs 2024 viewers fumed as David Beckham referred to 'soccer' instead of 'football' as he presented a gong on Sunday night.

He triumphed against Bradley Cooper for Maestro, Colman Domingo for Rustin, Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers, Barry Keoghan for Saltburn and Teo Yoo for Past Lives. Robert admitted he owes the award to the film's director Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and leading man Cillian Murphy, as well as 'British influence'. Nolan has previously lost out despite numerous commercial successes such as Inception and The Dark Knight, the UK-born filmmaker won out against Jonathan Glazer [The Zone of Interest], Justine Triet [Anatomy of a Fall], Alexander Payne [The Holdovers], Bradley Cooper [Maestro] and Andrew Haigh [All of Us Strangers].
