BBC apologises for 'misjudged' question to Andrew Scott by reporter at the Baftas | IS78P6Q | 2024-02-25 21:08:01
BBC has apologised for asking Andrew Scott a clumsy query about Saltburn at the current Bafta Awards.
The 47-year-old seemed visibly uncomfortable during the recent exchange, which they've now described as 'misjudged'.
After reporter Colin Paterson requested Andrew about his movie All of Us Strangers, they then discussed the popularity of Irish actors together with Barry Keoghan, who starred in Saltburn.
'Can I ask your response once you first saw the naked dance scene at the end of Saltburn?' he enquired.
Making an attempt to keep away from the question about his friend's full-frontal nudity, the Fleabag actor tutted.
'I don't need to spoil it for anyone,' Andrew replied as he tried to move the conversation forward but the interviewer didn't drop his questioning.
'There's plenty of speak concerning the prosthetics…' he interjected earlier than Andrew pulled a face and decided to walk away.
The broadcaster has now defined why the question was asked.
'Saltburn is a movie which has had cultural impression, with Barry Keoghan's scene at the end gaining a variety of consideration particularly – something the actor has addressed himself.
'Our query to Andrew Scott was meant to be a light-hearted reflection of the dialogue around the scene and was not meant to cause offence,' they started. BBC added that Saltburn director Emerald Fennell, and singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, whose track Homicide on the Dancefloor options within the scene, also faced the identical line of questioning.
'We do, nevertheless, accept that the precise question requested to Andrew Scott was misjudged. After speaking with Andrew on the carpet, our reporter acknowledged on air that his questioning might have gone too far and that he was sorry if this was the case,' they added.
The pink carpet second was extensively criticised, and complaints have been sent to BBC which led to their response.
Accusations of underlying homophobic tones have been levied on the reporter, provided that Andrew identifies as gay.
'There's is something so deeply homophobic about asking Andrew Scott a homosexual man this bizarre ass question about Barry's scene in Saltburn??' wrote X consumer Amber.
Mullins Martin added: 'Shameful interview. Andrew Scott is so sleek.'
All Of Us Strangers acquired six nods on the award ceremony, including Outstanding British Film, Greatest Supporting Actor for Paul Mescal, Greatest Supporting Actress for Claire Foy and Greatest Director for Andrew Haigh.
Meanwhile, Saltburn had 5 nominations together with Excellent British Movie, Greatest Supporting Actor for Jacob Elordi, Greatest Supporting Actress for Rosamund Pike, and Greatest Actor in a Main Position for Barry. Nevertheless, the films and their stars went residence empty-handed.
