Early in the show, as Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented the first award for best visual effects (which went to Avatar: Fire and Ash), John Davidson, a man with Tourette's who was in the audience, shouted the N-word followed by "bi—." The two actors, who are Black, paused, then continued with their presentation.
View this post on InstagramAccording to The Guardian, producers of the broadcast said they didn't hear the N-word being yelled, because they were working from a truck, and therefore mistakenly aired the slur. Per the publication, however, “several other incidents of inappropriate language were cut out, but that moment was missed.”
Lindo has also spoken out. Speaking about the incident to Vanity Fair at an after-party, he said we “did what we had to do” but “wished someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterwards.”
“You may have noticed some strong language in the background,” Cumming said. “This can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience. Thanks for your understanding and helping create a respectful space for everyone.”
In response to the fan backlash, the BBC pulled the BAFTAs from iPlayer.
