In footage screened on BBC One, the prankster, wearing a dark suit, walked on to the stage as Oppenheimer producer Emma Thomas was making her acceptance speech, alongside the film’s director Christopher Nolan and lead actor Cillian Murphy.
Having stood behind Thomas as she spoke, he left the stage along with the filmmakers, and according to Bafta was subsequently detained by security.
A Bafta spokesman said: “A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the final award winners on stage. We take this very seriously, and don’t wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further.”
The prankster was identified on social media as a YouTuber using the name Lizwani; the same user posted on Instagram that police had taken some of his footage away. Lizwani has a history of infiltrating awards ceremonies, including the Fifa Ballon d’Or and Brit Awards in 2022.
