Today is March 12th. Here's what's trending in Entertainment. One Mi Masaku, the 39-year-old star of Centers, recently won best-supporting actress at the BAFTAs. Her big moment got overshadowed by an incident where a man with Tourette syndrome, John Davidson, led out a racial slur because of his condition. This happened right as her co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Del Rey Lindo presented the first award. The ceremony was a family-friendly event starting at 7 p.m. with a two-hour broadcast delay on the BBC. Even so, the moment aired on TV and went online, catching everyone by surprise. Masaku opened up about how it tainted her celebration, saying it cast a real shadow over the wind. She has no issue with Davidson, who has lived with the condition since age 12, but pointed the finger squarely at the BBC for not editing it out. Her castmates rallied around her with hugs right after she came off stage. Davidson reached out to Jordan and Lindo with a personal apology, calling himself deeply mortified.
The BBC admitted it was an error and started a fast-track probe by their complaints union. Another center's actress, Jamie Lawson, called it exploitive on BAFTA's part and careless from the BBC. Meanwhile, Masaku is pushing forward with the film's huge success, including 16 BAFTA nods and over $368 million at. The box office worldwide. He's thrilled about Jordan's recent best actor when, too, even jumping for joy despite being pregnant. Special thanks to our sponsor for supporting this episode.
