21 Feb - The organiser of the BAFTAs is slamming the prankster who decided to join the "Oppenheimer" team as they accepted the Best Film award at the recently held event.

The man, who reportedly is a social media prankster, was seen joining director Christopher Nolan, producers Emma Thomas and Charles Roven and star Cillian Murphy on stage after the movie was named Best Film by presenter Michael J. Fox.


Dressed in black suit and standing behind Thomas, the man looked on with a serious face as the producer gave her speech, and was removed by security afterwards.

It is noted that nobody in the audience realised the presence of the imposter during the acceptance speech, as he walked up to the stage after Thomas urged the rest of the "Oppenheimer" cast to join her.

Said a spokesperson of the BAFTAs, "A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final award on stage - we are taking this very seriously, and don't wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further."
