Selena Gomez suffered an awkward blunder on stage while presenting an award at the 2025 BAFTAs, at The Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night.

The actress was tasked with reading out a winner's name alongside Best Supporting Actress Zoe Saldana - but made an accidental hiccup.

Selena struggled to read her part of the script to reveal who bagged the Outstanding Debut gong.

The nominees included movies Santosh, Kneecap, Money Man, Hoard and Sister Midnight. 

Before announcing the winner, Selena and Zoe both said: 'And the Bafta goes to...'

Selena told Zoe: 'You read it', before Zoe responded: 'You read it.'

After a moments pause, Selena whispered: 'I don't know what it says.'

She then added: 'Sorry, Kneecap... Rich [Peppiatt]...'

Mikey Madison and Adrien Brody scooped top gongs for Best Actor and Actress at 2025 BAFTAs, while Conclave and The Brutalist equally led the pack with four awards.

For his starring role in The Brutalist and her lead part in Independent film Anora, Adrien, 51, and Mikey, 25, accepted their awards on stage.

The biggest night in British film returned with actor David Tennant as host and an array of guest presenters on hand to deliver awards throughout the night. 

Up against a huge list of 10 nominees, Conclave - who won Best Film - came up triumphs in BAFTAs very unique category Outstanding British Film Award - adding to their previous two gongs for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing.

The Brutalist won four awards including Adrien's Best Actor, impressive Best Director gong for the well-deserving Brady Corbet, Best Cinematography gong and Best Original Score.

Acknowledging the 'British public', Adrien shared a moving tribute to England, admitting 'It's felt quite a bit like home lately'.

He said: 'I am so grateful. I want to thank the British public for embracing me and my creative endeavors. It is incredibly meaningful as England has felt quite a bit like home lately. I will cherish this, thank you all'.

Brady said: 'I am humbled and very grateful, there is no such thing as best director, it's like a joke.' 

Receiving the BAFTA for Outstanding British Film for Conclave, director Edward Berger said: 'It is a huge honour, outstanding British film, and I'm not even from here! I feel so welcome in your midst. We live in a time of crisis for democracy. Institutions that used to bring us together are used to pull us apart.

'Sometimes it is hard to keep the faith in that situation, but that's why we make movies and that's why we made this movie.'

As well as Mikey's Best Actress award, the $6million Independent movie Anora, which beat blockbuster movies at the Critics Choice Awards last week, picked up Best Casting gong. 

Tearful Zoe Saldana accepted Best Supporting Actress award with a expletive-laden speech for her Mexican movie Emilia Perez.

The award-winning actress, 46, was quickly pulled off camera for swearing as she shouted 'f***, f***, f***' when the countdown hurried her.

Zoe was in floods of tears as she accepted the award, admitting it is 'so validating and a true honour' to be honoured an award after being previously told by dialect coaches 'that her British accent wasn't going to work'.
