'David Tennant hosted the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards and, during his opening monologue, took a jab at Donald Trump as he makes a presidential run in the U.S.

As Tennant looked around the room to acknowledge the different films nominated at the gala, he talked about Poor Things, the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film starring Emma Stone.

“Poor Things, where a child’s brain is put in an adult’s body,” Tennant said. “And later this year, one of those may be reelected president.”

Tennant also gave a shoutout to Wonka, calling it “an absolute delight,” as it was “a film all about chocolate.”

“I think Wonka gave us all a Boost,” Tennant quipped, receiving a delayed laughter from the audience. “And a Twix, and a Crunchy and an Aero.”

He added, “You might need to explain that to some of our American friends. It’s about the name of chocolate bars, like Hershey’s but they taste nicer.”

The Doctor Who alum also mentioned Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, alleging that the “script went through a lot of rewrites.”

“I believe in the first draft, right in the last minute, Liam Neeson comes in and diffuses it,” he joked.

The ceremony couldn’t have missed acknowledging Barbie, who Tennant called “fantastic.”

“I keep thinking about poor-maligned Ken — brought to life by Ryan Gosling,” he said. “In the course of that film, Ken becomes a progressive, a champion of the marginalized, a voice for the oppressed. And if you squint at the end credits, you’ll even see Ken’s surname is actually Roache.”

Tennant was making reference to Coronation Street actor William Roache who plays Ken Barlow in the English soap...'

On April 24, 1710, only a month after a successful revival of Dryden’s play, the Queen’s Theatre in Haymarket mounted a production of William Davenant’s operatic version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. An advertisement posted at the theater’s entrance announced the play was “For the Entertainment of the Four INDIAN KINGS lately arriv’d.”

...There was an ideological justification to the choice in entertainment for that night, because Shakespeare’s tale of an honor-bound Medieval Scotland enmeshed in witchery and magic thematically rhymed with English understandings of the Native Americans as primitive, if noble, “natural men.” Audiences that that evening were less interested in Macbeth and his wife than they were in Brant, John, Nicholas, and Hendrick. Outfitted in costumes befitting stage royalty, all black in mourning for Queen Anne’s recently deceased prince consort, the four men in their box seats made a spectacle. “In vain did the players attempt to perform,” writes John Genest in his 1832 history of English theater. “The audience demanded that ‘since we have paid our money, the Kings we will have.’”

To placate the unruly audience, Genest continues, the director “accordingly got four chairs, and placed the Kings on the stage, to the no small satisfaction of the Mob.” There was a degree of the dehumanizing exhibitionism in the “Mob’s” insistence at seeing the kings in this manner, though visiting dignitaries (or other important people) being seated on stage was not uncommon, and satiating understandable curiosity need not be understood as a debasement in and of itself.

it's honestly hilarious to write OFMD and Doctor Who fanfic back-to-back because of the difference in writing violence. In OFMD, the MO is literally "if it's not a member of the main cast, stab away" while in Doctor Who one of the character arcs literally leads to the Doctor not killing the person who has killed millions of people because pacifism/allowing his companions to make choices/etc.

Comedic excessive violence v. pacifist weapon-hating main character fight!
