Celebrating the best in British film, the 2025 Bafta Film Awards took place on Sunday (16 February) with Hollywood’s brightest stars descending upon London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Speaking to the audience, Tennant referenced the nominated film Anora, which follows the story of a sex worker in Brooklyn who falls in love with a Russian oligarch’s son.
Less of a hit, however, was the actor’s joke about Putin, which reportedly earned a groan from the star-studded crowd, which included Selena Gomez, Timothee Chalamet, Pamela Anderson, Soarise Ronan, and Hugh Grant.
The Substance is a body horror film where Demi Moore’s fading Hollywood icon takes a black market drug to enhance her appearance and revamp her career.
Elsewhere in his monologue, Tennant made fun of the length of some of the films, asking: "If you do win, please keep your speeches the opposite to your films, nice and short.".
