Kangana compares ‘Emergency’ to Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ and Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’
Kangana Ranaut compares her 'Emergency' to Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winner 'Oppenheimer' and draws parallels' with Shakespeare's 'Macbeth.'
The BAFTAs found themselves in an unexpected twist when a YouTube prankster crashed the stage during the acceptance speech for “Oppenheimer,” crowned as the Best Film of the evening. As Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas stood poised to receive the prestigious award, a stranger in a sharp suit suddenly joined them on stage, leaving viewers and attendees alike baffled.
The intrusion occurred during the grand finale of the ceremony, following a riveting presentation of the nominated films, which included “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “The Holdovers,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Poor Things,” and the eventual winner, “Oppenheimer.” Despite the prankster’s uninvited appearance, neither Michael J. Fox, who announced the award, nor the BAFTA host, David Tennant, seemed to acknowledge the unexpected guest.
The unidentified man, reportedly a notorious figure in the realm of online pranks, seamlessly merged with the “Oppenheimer” team on stage, prompting no immediate reaction from those present. However, as the ceremony drew to a close, security swiftly intervened, escorting the interloper off stage. Notably, he appeared to have secured a memento from the event before being apprehended.

In response to the incident, a BAFTAs spokesperson emphasized the organization’s serious stance, stating, “A youtube prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final award on stage — we are taking this very seriously, and don’t wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further.”
While the disruption may have momentarily diverted attention from the celebratory atmosphere, it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in maintaining the integrity of high-profile events. Despite the unexpected turn of events, the evening concluded with “Oppenheimer” and its team rightfully basking in the glow of their well-deserved accolades, albeit with an unexpected guest in tow.
