Prince William, who is President of BAFTA, chatted with recipient of the Leading Actor award for his role in Joker, Joaquin Phoenix: “Lovely to meet you,” William said, “I absolutely loved the Joker. It was brilliant. I put it off and put it off before watching it, as people kept telling me ‘be careful when you choose to watch it.’ I’m glad I didn’t watch it before bed, but huge congratulations on an amazing performance.” Joaquin told William: “Thank you for your speech.”

Prince William is speaking up about the lack of diversity at the 2020 EE British Academy Film Awards.

During his speech at the event, where he presented this year’s BAFTA Fellowship to Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy, commented on the lack of actors of color and women who were passed over for nominations.

“We find ourselves talking again about the need to do more to address diversity in the sector. That cannot be right in this day and age. I know Pippa [Harris] and Amanda [Berry] share that frustration,” he shared on stage. “BAFTA take this issue seriously, and following this year’s nominations have launched a full review…to ensure the opportunities are available to everyone.”

The Duke of Cambridge also serves as the BAFTA president.

Joaquin Phoenix, who won for Best Actor, also criticized the lack of diversity.
