The actor handled the embarrassing moment like a pro. Before the main award was announced, Hamill made his way onto the stage at London’s Royal Festival Hall to introduce the nominees. However, when standing at the lectern the actor appeared to have trouble with his outfit and had to pull his trousers up after they slipped from his waist. The source added: “They were turning to each other wide-eyed as if to say, did that just happen?”.

Hamill, though, handled the situation like a pro and didn’t once pause his speech, despite the mishap. The Batman: The Animated Series actor began by saying: “If you're in the room like me, you must love film - so what makes us love cinema so much that we're all gathered here to celebrate tonight. For me, it's that films create worlds so vivid and stories so powerful that we lose ourselves completely.”.
As he reached the end of his sentence, Hamill became alarmed and had to reach down to grab his trousers and pull them back up before anyone noticed. As he made himself presentable again, he continued: “They create immersive cinematic landscapes that feel live whether they're set here in London or anywhere you imagine they can take you.”. Thankfully for Hamill, the rest of his appearance did not include any more wardrobe malfunctions.
Conclave won the joint most awards on the night with Edward Berger’s film also claiming the prizes for Outstanding British Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. The Brutalist also won four awards with Adrien Brody being named as Best Actor and Brady Corbet winning Best Director. The epic also won Best Cinematography and Best Original Score. Meanwhile, Best Actress went to Mikey Madison for her performance in Anora, as a stripper who impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch.
