But I don't know someone amazing, because Daniel is hard to follow."Tom Cross added: "I defer to Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to figure that out because they know what they're doing but I have no idea."He also stated that despite Daniel not being at the awards on the night, he felt his presence in the star-studded room.Tom went on to say: "I feel like even though he wasn't even able to attend, I felt his presence with the film clips and Shirley Bassey singing Diamonds are Forever.

Rebel Wilson was the source of a few memorable moments at this year's BAFTA film awards, including a shock comment about estranged royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.The comments followed on from her performance in 2021, in which she took a dig at the disgraced Prince Andrew.Andrew - who this year paid damages to Virginia Giuffre, who accused the royal of sexually assaulting her - was unsurprisingly the butt of some of Rebel's jokes as she addressed the glitz and glamour in front of her.Andrew has always denied Giuffre's claims.She said: "So I was going to do a musical number as host, it was about Prince Andrew though. Um, no guys, it's no, it's not what you think."It was on roller skates, it's called Pizza Express.

Rebel Wilson made a rather awkward joke regarding Leonardo DiCaprio dating younger women while hosting the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday evening (March 13).As she walked through the audience, the 42-year-old approached 20-year-old CODA actress Emilia Jones.Rebel then said: "I’ll give you the award for the person in the crowd Leonardo DiCaprio would find most attractive..."He does like them young," she added.Although the joke was fairly savage, this isn't the first time the Titanic star has been roasted for dating younger women.In 2020, Ricky Gervais made a dig at Leonardo while hosting the Golden Globes.The comedian said: "[It’s] almost three hours long – it’s an epic" he said, adding: "Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end his date was too old for him."As the audience erupted into laughter, Ricky added: "Even Prince Andrew’s like, 'Come on, mate, you’re nearly 50, son.'"The news comes as Rebel left viewers divided with her jokes while hosting the glitzy award ceremony.As well as taking a swipe at Leonardo she also cracked jokes about members of the Royal Family.

Piers Morgan has called out actress and BAFTAs host Rebel Wilson for her crude jokes and claimed that the comments she made would "get a man abused".Australian actress Rebel Wilson, star of Bridesmaids and Cats, hosted the 75th annual British Academy Film Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall. She wore her signature blonde hair in Hollywood style curls and a figure-hugging red sequinned dress, but viewers were more distracted with her inappropriate jokes throughout the evening.Wilson made a number of jokes including comments aimed at Prince Andrew’s Pizza Express comments, 10 Downing Street’s lockdown parties and she even stuck a middle up to the camera which was aimed at Vladimir Putin.She also made multiple jokes towards The Power Of The Dog star Benedict Cumberbatch and at one point, Rebel wheeled out a cake which was a bust of the actor.At times her jokes fell flat, receiving minimal applause and the audience often looked unimpressed.The 41-year-old actress began a segment where she gave out her own awards, which were just her “old bras” spray painted gold.She began handing them out to members of the audience and gave one out to "the person Leonardo DiCaprio would find the most attractive" because he "does like them young".Then she suddenly threw another one behind her to the "person with the best reflexes" as some audience members reached out to grab it.Journalist and ex-Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan was tuned into the show and seemed less than impressed with the wise-cracking presenter.

Manori Ravindran International EditorRebel Wilson, one of the BAFTA Awards’ most memorable presenters in past years, did not disappoint as its host.The “Pitch Perfect” actor stole the show on Sunday during the first BAFTA Awards to take place in-person since the organizations’s groundbreaking 2020 diversity review.Wilson presented the best director award at the ceremony in 2020 and brought the house down with a gag-filled speech that in one fell swoop managed to burn Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, COVID-19 (then still but a conceptual threat for Brits), the lack of swag bags, “Cats” (in which she starred) and the lack of women nominated for best director.No one was spared from Wilson’s numerous barbs during the 2022 ceremony either. While not every joke landed with the British crowd — and were further challenged by the cavernous acoustics of the Royal Albert Hall — one attendee remarked that Wilson deserved a standing ovation for her hosting duties.The absence of Prince William — who is president of BAFTA — and Princess Kate likely allowed Wilson to let rip, and the actor-comedian certainly didn’t hold back in taking the Royal family to task.
