Bafta has issued a clarification after viewers expressed their upset at Friends star Matthew Perry’s exclusion from the televised In Memoriam segment.
Later in the programme, there was more criticism to come as Friends star Perry was left out of the In Memoriam package.
The Bafta Film Awards took place on Sunday (18 February) at London’s Royal Festival Hall, honouring the best releases and cinema talent of the past year.
Along with Perry, TV director Roy Battersby will be remembered in the forthcoming TV awards after Kate Beckinsale, Battersby’s stepdaughter, campaigned for his inclusion.
