Blech.
His hair looks completely gross.
Ugh. He looks so gross. It’s like he’s not even trying to not look like a dude who sexually harasses women.
There is no look for dudes who sexually harass women. They come in all sizes, shapes, style of dress, long-haired, short-haired, bald, scruffy, perfectly groomed, hideously ugly, stunningly handsome, rich, poor and in between. I deal with harassers as part of my job and a major problem with confronting and resolving the issue is that people won’t believe a person is a harasser because he doesn’t fit “the part.” There is no “look” or “part.”
This is important to recognize. They walk among us. A squeaky clean, polished, or generally reputable looking vibe shouldn’t serve as a smoke screen for sexual harassers.
I finally get up on the Katy Perry boat, then she does something dumb like this. Now I feel better about thinking her hair is awful.
Leave BritBrit alone, and mental illness isn’t a joke you twit.
i wanted to scream about this idiot getting an award, than i saw what she did… we live in a weird world.
I was so pissed when she made that joke…
Me too! Just not okay
Broke my heart last night! The BAFTA academy should hang their heads in shame.
It should have been Ryan Gosling or Andrew Garfield. Who in the UK actually saw ‘Manchester by the sea’ for heaven’s sake? La La Land was No. 1 at the box office!
A lot of people have seen it and loved it. My mother in law, people at work.. (: I didn’t care for La La Land but I don’t like musicals so there you go.
I did. It was brilliant. He was terrific. It has pulled in very big crowds at an independent cinema near me. BAFTA should not hang its head. They cannot possibly take account of unsubstantiated allegations, even though the behaviour described in those allegations was totally unacceptable. It was an award for acting. He deserved the award for acting. It’s very debatable whether he deserves an award for excellent human being. But that wasn’t the category.
BAFTA hates Denzel so he wasn’t even nominated. Don’t worry — Denzel is still winning that Oscar.
I didn’t know BAFTA hated Denzel ….what happened??
Yes they do. He has never been *nominated* for a BAFTA in his ENTIRE acting career! Not a one. It’s so strange.
I too want to know the back story as to why he is Persona Non Grata(?) for BAFTA. Did he say bad things against England or take one of the Queen’s corgi’s hostage??? Even The Gold Derby folks don’t know what the beef is!
He’s never been nominated for a bafta? HOW?! I never really cared for the baftas and now I don’t even feel bad. Denzel is the sh!t. He must get the oscar. He’s incredible in fences. That scene in the bedroom. Woah….
This is going to sound weird, I’ve always wondered if it was because Denzel’s roles have always been so American to the core. Bafta noms never line up 100% because there’s always gotta be room for some homegrown fav. Or maybe I’m just wrong.
Even without him being a pervert the thought of him winning an acting award in anything let alone over DENZEL is laughable.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote an article imploring Academy voters to judge and base their selection on artistic merit alone and to focus solely on the artists performance in the movie. Any outside issues or distractions should be ignored and poor Casey shouldn’t be submarined because of those pesky “alleged” sexual harassment charges.
Not equating the two, but where was this call when Nate Parker’s movie & career got torpedoed because of what he did.
That article was vile. And it was such an obvious PR piece, I’m hoping that shameless garbage journalism will actually torpedo his chance at the oscar. Worst of all in the comments section, Scott Feinberg actively insinuated that the harassment charges were just ‘back rubs’.
Wow, that article is going to bite them in the butt someday. As you said, taking Nate Parker out of it because no one is going to defend his pure evil behavior. Comparing him to Trump, Hollywood can’t be up in arms about his harassment and assault of women while defending Ben Affleck’s brother. Hypocrisy of the highest order!
It’s all about kissing up to who is in power, Ben and his Bro’s rule right now. Along with the scummy executives and directors who consider assault normal behavior. Sick!
How disgusting. And just another example of people bending over backwards to protect white guys. Please let Denzel win the Oscar!!
Ugh. He did these things “on the job” so to speak. The two women were subordinates working on HIS film. That should be even more of a reason for backlash.

Check out his fingernails. Kinda says it all.
Oh eww. I didn’t notice his fingernails until you pointed them out. Did he work in the garden before going to the BAFTAs? Man, scrub your nails. Or get a manicure, it’s OK even for guys, especially if they’re planning to be photographed in the hands.
Transient chic. So fashion. Much couture. Too dirt.
OMG that’s DISGUSTING!! *shudder* WHO goes out like that?? Esp. to a formal event???
Tom Hiddlestone hurt his “brand” for wearing an I heart T.S. shirt yet this guy is thriving.
You can’t be infatuated with a woman and act foolish about it, apparently. Molesting and abusing, different story. smh. I guess it’s manlier to take advantage of people.
You really hit the nail on the head here. The execs equate treating women poorly with alpha male behaviour so they approve of it (because they do it too). Tom treats women with respect and is even prepared to take a back seat to a successful woman. He looks weak to the execs. It’s a sad world we live in.
He looks like he needs a flea dip.
Rats everywhere were looking at his head and screaming ‘give me back my nest’.
He was the one seriously low point in last night’s BAFTAs.
Ugh casey. No. Friggin Damon and Ben probably paid everyone to vote for him. I’ve actually seen lots of the performances in his categories for these awards and he isn’t good compared to the competition. He expresses no emotion! I know his character is supposed to be “dead inside” but geez. Not a difficult thing to do you know?! He had better not get that oscar!!!!
“People are really wondering if [SCROTUS] is mentally ill”
You mean there are people who still aren’t SURE???
I hated Manchester By the Sea and I thought Casey Affleck was terrible in it…he was stiff and cold. The 6 year old kid from Lion deserves the best acting awards, he was 100 times better than Affleck.
If Denzel won it would be his 3rd Oscar out of seven career nominations his first came in 1990 for Best Actor in A Supporting Role for Glory his second came in 2002 Best Actor In A Leading Role for Training Day this would be his second best actor in a leading role Oscar. I usually love musicals but La La Land seems dated and neither Gosling or Stone are good singers also just because you win the precursor awards doesn’t guarantee you an Oscar for example in 1969 Joanne Woodward won Best Actress motion picture Dramatic Golden Globe and Best Actress at the New York City Film Critics Awards and lost the best actress Oscar for Rachel Rachel the voting was split between Katherine Hepburn’s performance in the Lion In Winter and Barbara Streisand’s in Funny Girl for the Oscar
