David Tennant fans are all saying the same thing about his BAFTAs opening
Last year’s host, David Tennant, graced the stage once more for the EE British Academy Film Awards, making it his second consecutive appearance, and it seemed that everyone among his enthusiastic followers had similar sentiments.
To kick off tonight’s event, a previously recorded skit was shown which included brief appearances by Georgia Tennant, Helen Mirren, Jim Broadbent, and Brian Cox (the actor), aiming to boost his confidence before he took on his hosting role.
The performance concluded with Tennant singing a reinterpretation of The Proclaimers’ hit “(I’m Gonna Be) 500 Miles,” modifying the chorus to “one BAFTA more.” James McAvoy, Anna Kendrick, and Celia Imrie joined in on the chorus, and the audience adored it.

This year, I was mindful of the mishap from last year’s event where I unintentionally offended Cate Blanchett with my opening gag. So, I made sure to approach this occasion more carefully to prevent any potential repetition of that situation.
