Rebel Wilson and the BAFTA's.

I thought she was dreadful!

I turned off after ten minutes.

I usually watch it but didn’t pick up that it was on, it sounds as if I didn’t miss much.

I switched off too, after the Benedict Cumberpatch section. ?

Somehow she made Sam Fox & Mick Fleetwood look good. That wasn’t easy ?

Read about it. Doesn't sound as if I missed anything.

Who watches these types of programmes?

Not me. I’m only repeating what the Daily Mail said.
Can’t bear what I refer to as oxygen thieves.

I had never heard of her, ghastly woman , I read she was the host at the 2020 awards, could she be the reason Prince
William didn’t attend this year ?

Toe curling cringe !!
I switched off after the 007 piece .
I felt embarrassed for her !

I watched she was awful BUT wasn't Shirley Bassey amazing ,her voice is still fantastic.Emilia Jones 'singing Both Sides Now wasa. lovely very moving version

Rebel was cringefully (if that's a word) awful and embarrassing. Dame Shirley was great.

Oh my goodness, we turned it on and listened in disbelief! She’s awful, don’t know she is or where they dragged her in from but please never again. We have wealth of talent in the UK she was not funny, and not pleasant.

I usually watch it just to see all the pretty dresses……
Btw, who were the two young persons who appeared for a few seconds at the start and introduced Rebel Wilson? They should have done the whole show.

Never heard of her.

Total embarrassment, why would anyone think she would be good as a host.
There must be others much more suited to the role or were they looking for the shock factor.

I dislike the BAFTAS intensely, and the OSCARS too and absolutely never watch. I hate the luvvies all patting each on the back and saying how wonderful they all are. I hate the thank you speeches where they thank everyone they ever knew. I hate the toe curlingly awful bits of material that pass for dresses. And I loathe the way that they pose and pout on the red carpet. I used to watch years ago, but now I only ever see bits of it on the news, and that’s more than I want to see.
I’m not surprised Prince William declined to attend. In Ukraine people are being indiscriminately terrorised and slaughtered and in the UK all the luvvies are out in force congratulating each other for doing their absolutely unimportant jobs. I hate it!

By the way, who on earth is Rebel Wilson?

She an Australian actress.

These slap on the back ceremonies seem ridiculously superfluous right now. I didn't watch, I would if Ricky Gervais has been hosting though!. I've heard of Rebel Wilson, haven't really seen her in anything.

My husband told me "The Power of Dog" having watched it on Netflix was just awful, so I didn't bother with it. We enjoyed Belfast at the cinema I believe that won a few gongs. I don't know whether I'm alone in thinking this, but I feel some of these award fests have had their day who wants to hear one after the other of often embarrassing overly long and emotional speeches with their interminable list of thank yous to people no one has heard of before they get off. The wonderful Shirley MacLaine just grabbed hers many years ago, with a "I deserve this" and scarpered, that's the way to do it!

Why on receiving an award do some say to the audience
‘I love you’

Because they’re totally false Annie.

Thanks for letting me know Sparklfizz. I’d never heard of her before today.

I agree with your other post maddyone
Toe curling self-congratulating, insincere luvvies.
Joanna Scanlon was ok though.

Rebel Wilson is an Australian actress and comedian, apparently related to Walt Disney I think.

The most impressive thing about her is that she has lost 5½ stone.

These award ceremonies are always awful so I never watch any of them. I have no interest in seeing people being praised by their peers and I have always felt sorry for any member of the RF who is obliged to sit through them, knowing any eye roll or yawn will be caught by cameras. Self indulgent crap
