BBC BAFTA Awards host Rebel Wilson under fire over 'awkward' jokes

Rebel Wilson, 47, went for a hike in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 20. The actress, who lost a remarkable 77 pounds, wore a black crop top and skin-tight leggings that highlighted her slimmed-down figure. Rebel pulled her blue T-shirt off her arms and let it hang on her neck as she strolled around Griffin Park in the Southern California heat.

Rebel Wilson swapped sunny Australia for America over 10 years ago, and her sprawling £2million Hollywood home looks incredible. The Pitch Perfect star, 42, opted for a traditional American house situated high in the Hollywood Hills, and she's transformed the inside of the property into a modern and stylish haven.

BAFTA Film Awards tonight (Sunday, March 3), and viewers had a mixed response to her performance.

Manori Ravindran International EditorRebel Wilson, one of the BAFTA Awards’ most memorable presenters in past years, did not disappoint as its host.The “Pitch Perfect” actor stole the show on Sunday during the first BAFTA Awards to take place in-person since the organizations’s groundbreaking 2020 diversity review.Wilson presented the best director award at the ceremony in 2020 and brought the house down with a gag-filled speech that in one fell swoop managed to burn Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, COVID-19 (then still but a conceptual threat for Brits), the lack of swag bags, “Cats” (in which she starred) and the lack of women nominated for best director.No one was spared from Wilson’s numerous barbs during the 2022 ceremony either. While not every joke landed with the British crowd — and were further challenged by the cavernous acoustics of the Royal Albert Hall — one attendee remarked that Wilson deserved a standing ovation for her hosting duties.The absence of Prince William — who is president of BAFTA — and Princess Kate likely allowed Wilson to let rip, and the actor-comedian certainly didn’t hold back in taking the Royal family to task.
