BBC Apologizes for Racial Slur Heard During BAFTAs 2026 Broadcast

I was absolutely shocked during the awards ceremony on February 22nd. John Davidson, the incredibly brave man whose life with Tourette’s inspired the movie I Swear, unexpectedly shouted a racial slur twice while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting the award for Best Visual Effects. It was a really difficult moment to witness. While the UK broadcast actually showed it, the network later said they regretted that it happened.
