Hollywood actress Zoe Saldaña was cut off during an emotional but expletive speech at the BAFTAs and escorted off the stage by security, after she became overcome with emotion09:06, 17 Feb 2025Updated 09:11, 17 Feb 2025Zoe Saldaña was abruptly cut off mid-rant during her fiery acceptance speech at the 2025 BAFTAs, after bagging the Best Actress in a Supporting Role gong for her portrayal of Rita Mora Castro in the hotly debated musical Emilia Pérez.The 46-year-old Hollywood icon triumphed over a star-studded lineup including Jamie Lee Curtis, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Felicity Jones, and Isabella Rossellini.The Marvel sensation seemed gobsmacked as she hit the stage, but as she got into her speech, emotions ran high, her voice wobbled, and a few choice curse words slipped out as she expressed gratitude to her film mates and crew.She blurted out: “I was told not to cry by my children, so I’ll try. This is so validating and a true honour, because the very few times that I went for a part with a British accent or dialect coach, I was like, ‘This is not going to happen to you.’ Even though I have a lot of British friends, I find myself repeating all their phrases, and I know that I’m a pain in the a***.”(Image: More
