Jayme Lawson Calls BAFTAs Exploitative, Urges Real Inclusion
Sinners star Jayme Lawson praised Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo for how they handled a slur at the BAFTAs, but she denounced the event as exploitative rather than inclusive, arguing that inviting people into spaces without real safety and resources isn’t true inclusion. She also criticized the BBC for cutting or censoring moments in their coverage (and referenced censorship of a separate “Free Palestine” moment), saying such edits undermine dignity and protection for Black artists who contributed to the night.
