The Bafta Awards are receiving backlash after all 49 winners at Sunday’s ceremony were white, despite there being individual nominees from ethnic minorities.

Presenter Alison Hammond is the only black person seen in the winners’ group photo. This comes three years after the ceremony received backlash when all 20 acting nominees were white.

Director of consultancy at the Sir Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity, Marcus Ryder, told The BBC: “Ten years ago, in 2013, Lenny Henry made headlines at the TV Baftas when he labelled it as ‘All white on the night’.

“And depressingly, despite a massive overhaul, on which I and many other industry people were consulted and which resulted in 120 changes to the Bafta award processes, 1,000 new members from under-represented groups etc, the end result is there is no substantial change.”

Film and TV critic and Bafta short film jury member, Ashanti Omkar, also told the publication: “Alison Hammond was the only person of the global majority in it, and she was not a winner but working at the event like many others who added colour to the red carpet, performed music and presented awards.

“That felt regressive and like these were cosmetic steps forward as opposed to real systemic change.”
