BAFTAs 2023: Host Alison Hammond is branded ‘annoying’ by unimpressed viewers

[ad_1]

Alison Hammond‘s backstage segment at the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2023 was branded ‘annoying’ and ‘disjointed’ by viewers on Sunday night.

The former Big Brother housemate, 48, kept home audiences entertained with celebrity interviews while Richard E. Grant, 57, fronted the main stage.

But some fans of the BBC One broadcast were left less than impressed, claiming the format ‘sucks all energy out of the show’ and that it ‘just doesn’t work’.

One wrote: ‘Why is the Alison Hammond bit there? Is it for bbc America for commercials?? It’s so disjointed #BAFTAs.’

Another chimed in with, ‘These Alison Hammond interviews suck all energy out of the BAFTAs show. Format just doesn’t work. #BAFTA2023.’

A third penned, ‘Oh my word. Please no more Alison Hammond. With absolutely meaningless drivel. I mean, where is the relevant conversation about the winners so far. #BAFTA2023.’

More added: ‘Every time it cuts to these pointless mid show chats with Alison Hammond #BAFTAs,’ and, ‘What did we do wrong to deserve these Alison Hammond segments? #BAFTAs.’

Others concluded, ‘Alison Hammond segments are just dead air. I want to see the awards, not this tongue job! #BAFTA2023,’ as well as, ‘Could do without the chatty bits with Alison Hammond #BAFTAs.’

During the show, Carey Mulligan was incorrectly named the Best Supporting Actress winner, but laughed off the blunder.

The pregnant star, 37, looked ‘visibly shocked’ when the gaffe was made by a sign language interpreter.

Last year’s recipient, CODA star Troy Kotsur, 54, had presented the award using sign language, however the slip-up was edited out of the TV transmission, which was delayed by 30 minutes.

A source in the audience told MailOnline: ‘Carey was a really good sport and laughing about the mix up. She looked visibly shocked when her name was announced.’

Uh-oh: But some fans of the BBC One broadcast were left less than impressed, claiming the format 'sucks all energy out of the show' and that it 'just doesn’t work'

Troy had correctly signed that Kerry Condon had won for her role in Banshees of Inisherin, while Carey had been in the running for her Me Too film, She Said. 

After gasps were heard through London’s Royal Festival Hall, the interpreter – realising his mistake – said, ‘This is a bad moment.’

After Kerry accepted the gong, host Richard E Grant joked: ‘A defibrillator needed for Carey Mulligan.’

The biggest night in British film is back with actor Richard taking the helm to present the 76th EE British Academy Film Awards.

The actor, 65, joined Alison Hammond to host the star-studded ceremony, while film critic Ali Plum is on the red carpet with Vick Hope.

Netflix’s anti-war drama All Quiet On The Western Front leads the nominations with a staggering 14 nods.

The film, which is based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, equals Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2001) as the film which is not spoken in the English language with the most nominations in BAFTA’s history.

Directed by Edward Berger, it stars Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, Daniel Brühl, Sebastian Hülk, Aaron Hilmer, Edin Hasanovic and Devid Striesow. 

Nominations include Best Support Actor, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Costume Design, Editing, Make Up & Hair, Original Score, Production Design and more. 

It will face battle against The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All At Once for Best Film, with both movies up for 10 nominations a piece. 

Elvis, which has nine nominations, and Tar, five nods, will also compete for Best Film.

The Banshees of Inisherin follows two lifelong friends (Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson) who, ‘find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, with alarming consequences for both of them’.

Colin Farrell is up for Best Actor for his part in the film, but will face tough competition as he faces Austin Butler (Elvis), Brendan Fraser (The Whale), Daryl McCormack (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), Paul Mescal (Aftersun) and Bill Nighy (Living). 

In the Leading Actress category, Ana de Armas scored her first nomination for her portrayal as Marilyn Monroe in Netflix’s Blonde. 

She will compete against Cate Blanchett (Tar), Viola Davis (The Woman King), Danielle Deadwyler (Till), Emma Thompson (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) and Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All At Once). 

In the Best Director category, four of the six are first time director nominees: Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King); Todd Field (Tár), Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front).
