Robbie Coltrane omission from BAFTA tribute sparks complaints

BAFTA Awards were left disappointed following the omission of Robbie Coltrane from the in-memoriam segment.The television award ceremony took place at London’s Royal Festival Hall yesterday (May 14), and featured a moving In Memory Of… section — designed to honour actors that have passed away over the past year, along with late creatives who played integral roles behind the scenes.This year’s package included obituaries for Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman and Dame Edna Everage star Barry Humphries, who both passed away in April, as well as comedian and television presenter Paul O’Grady, who died the month prior.Other late television stars that were acknowledged on the night included Emmerdale star Dale Meeks, Hi-Di-Hi! actress Ruth Madoc and Doctor Who actor Bernard Cribbins.Some viewers, however, were left disappointed at the tribute section at the awards ceremony — namely due to the absence of Robbie Coltrane. The actor, who was renowned for his role as Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, died last October following multiple organ failure.Yet, despite appearances in other films, such as Brave and GoldenEye, and a leading role in the 2016 television series, National Treasure, the Scottish actor was left out of the section — leading to some backlash from fans on social media.“Robbie Coltrane won three BAFTAs concurrently for his TV work, setting a record yet to be broken.
