Bafta issued an apology after an independent review revealed significant shortcomings in handling a Tourette's-related incident during this year's awards. Executive producer John Davidson, who has Tourette's, involuntarily shouted a racial slur during the ceremony, leading to widespread media coverage. The review found structural weaknesses in Bafta's crisis management and emphasized the lack of malicious intent. Davidson expressed deep mortification and clarified that his tics are not reflective of his beliefs.
