The BAFTAs faced online backlash on Sunday after its 2024 ceremony inadvertently snubbed Matthew Perry.
The “Friends” star, who died in October 2023 at age 54, was absent from the EE BAFTA Film Awards’ In Memoriam segment.
Perry, who was best known for his role in “Friends,” was also a movie actor who starred in films like “17 Again” and “The Whole Nine Yards.”
After the tribute — set to Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” — concluded, fans of the later actor jumped on X and slammed the academy.
