Film fans who tuned into the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday night (16th February) were left furious as they claimed one film was snubbed over all the rest.
Doctor Who star David Tennant hosted the ceremony this weekend, which saw the brightest stars from Hollywood and the UK descend on the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Religious thriller Conclave led the pack this year, with a staggering 12 nominations, and won both Best Film and Outstanding British Film.
However, there were plenty of fans hoping blockbuster musical Wicked would take home its fair share.
Despite being nominated for Best Film and Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, it only walked away with two awards.
The adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical scored both Best Costume Design and Best Production Design, but fans were clearly expecting a lot more.
Several furious viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) during the awards on BBC One to express their disappointment.
“Who did Wicked p*** off at BAFTA?! What a joke. That film deserves all of the awards.”
“Wicked has been robbed tonight!” someone else fumed.
A third said: “Also the fact Wicked was not nominated for Best Picture reeks of musical snobbery.”
Another complained: “Are you joking me. Wicked has been robbed left right and centre.”
