Last night, the BAFTAs took place in London, England, and with the Academy Awards just one week away, all eyes were on this ceremony just to see what bearing it might have for the Oscars. Time will tell on that front, but Sam Mendes'
1917 once again dominated proceedings (you can read our review of the World War I movie
by clicking here).
However,
Joker still got plenty of attention and the DC Comics adaptation ended up walking away with another "Best Actor" award for the Clown Prince of Crime himself, Joaquin Phoenix.
Unexpectedly, Phoenix used his acceptance speech as a chance to criticise the BAFTAs for not better representing diverse actors and filmmakers, something they've often come under fire for.
"I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you’re not welcome here," he says in the video above.
"I think that’s the message that we’re sending to people that have contributed so much to our medium and our industry, and in ways that we benefit from."
