Fans of Matthew Perry slammed the BAFTA Awards over their perceived snub of the late actor, prompting the show's executives to respond to all the backlash. The fury began Sunday night after the 2024 British Academy Film Awards aired a four-minute In Memoriam segment showing images of actors who passed away over the last year, including Carl Weathers, Tina Turner, Chaim Topol, Michael Gambon and Richard Roundtree. As the photos flashed on screen, actress Hannah Waddingham performed onstage, singing a rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time." It was a wonderful celebration of these famous and talented people ... the only problem was Perry was not among those honored. His fans were upset, expressing their frustrations on the social media app, X. No mention of Matthew Perry in the #BAFTAs memorial?! Bad form @BAFTA pic.twitter.com/zkjLu7R6bl
