BAFTA 2020 was quite eventful. While this year’s favourites picked the top awards like ‘1917’ and ‘Parasite’, there was something else too that hogged the limelight.
We are talking about Brad Pitt’s acceptance speech at the awards ceremony. Brad Pitt could not make it to the ceremony but he did send his award speech via his ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’ co-star and friend, Margot Robbie. As Brad won Best Supporting Actor award for his role in the film, Margot walked to the stage to pick the coveted award and read out his speech.'1917' leads with seven wins, here's the complete list of winners

Brad’s speech also had a mention of Brexit and his finalised divorce with Angelina Jolie as Margot read, "Hey Britain, heard you just became single, welcome to the club, wishing you the best with the divorce settlement."
