The BAFTAS have always been very supportive of my career and I’ve always been appreciative. But I have to say that I also feel conflicted, because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don’t have that same privilege.

I think that we send a very clear message to people of colour that you’re not welcome here.

I think that that's a message that we’re sending to people who have contributed so much to our medium and our industry and in ways that we benefit from.

I don’t think anybody wants a handout or a preferential treatment although that’s what we give ourselves every year. I think people just want to be acknowledged and appreciated and respected for their work.

This is not a self righteous condemnation, because I’m ashamed to say that I’m part of the problem, because I’ve not done everything in my power to ensure that the sets I’ve worked on are inclusive.but I think that it’s more than having sets that are multicultural, I think that we have to do the hard work to truly understand systemic racism.

I think that it is the obligation of the people who have created and benefit from a system of oppression to be the ones that dismantle it.

So that’s on us.

Thank you so much. It's really big.

I don't know -- I do know what to say. I have actually written something down. I do know.

To my fellow nominees, to be in the same company as you is such an extraordinary honour. I think the work you all did was so beautiful.

Very shaky. Sorry. I can't read it either.

All the producers. Fox and Element and everyone therein. And Nadia and Sandy and all of your teams. Hi. We're having an amazing night, aren't we? We're going to get so pissed later!

Yorgos Lanthimos -- I don't know, I can't think of the words to thank you enough for letting me do this. My most favourite time ever.

The thing I really want to do is, Emma and Rachel -- must keep it together -- not just for your performances but for what you did after the cameras stopped rolling. And we've never talked about this, and I find it very emotional, but you were the best and classiest and coolest honour guard any woman could ever have, and I love you. Ems isn't here, but we love you too, Em, somewhere in America.

Oh, God, what else am I meant to say? Done that bit. I think I have done that bit ...

Yes. So this is -- sorry. I swear I'm going to go in a minute!

This is for -- not for the lead, it's for a lead, and as far as I'm concerned, all three of us are the same and should be the lead, and it's weird that we can't do that. But this is for all three of us. It's got my name on it, but we can scratch in some other names.

Thank you so much.
