Prankster Ejected from BAFTA Stage During 'Oppenheimer' Victory Moment

Security at the British Academy Film Awards had to intervene when a prankster made an unexpected appearance on stage. The incident occurred as the 'Oppenheimer' team celebrated their win for Best Film on Sunday night. The individual, known for orchestrating pranks for social media, took advantage of the situation and swiftly joined the acclaimed cast and crew during their moment of triumph.

Quick Intervention by Security

The prankster's bold move did not go unnoticed. As producer Emma Thomas invited more cast members to join her on stage, the man saw his chance and dashed up with them. He was soon spotted by security officials and promptly removed from the spotlight. The BAFTA organization stated their commitment to taking this breach of protocol seriously, deciding not to provide further attention to the prankster's actions.

Prankster's Identity and Aftermath

Despite BAFTA's silence on the identity of the man, sharp-eyed viewers and online detectives quickly connected the dots. They identified the prankster as a YouTuber going by the alias Lizwani. Known for previous pranks, Lizwani made no effort to keep his BAFTA infiltration a secret as he posted evidence of his gate-crashing on his Instagram. His antics drew mixed reactions from the public, with some finding humor in the situation while others condemned the disrespect towards the event.

Serial Event-Crasher

Lizwani's history of sneaking into prestigious events is well-documented on his YouTube channel. The BAFTA stunt adds to a growing list of infiltrations, including the Brit Awards and the FIFA Ballon d'Or. His BAFTA appearance marks yet another high-profile event he managed to disrupt.

Meanwhile, 'Oppenheimer' left the evening's ceremony with a total of seven awards, highlighting the film's remarkable achievement in the eyes of the British Academy. The night, however, will also be remembered for the unforeseen stage-crash and the subsequent discussion it sparked among the attendees and viewers alike.
