Video · BAFTA Explains Omitting Bob Hoskins From 2015 In Memoriam Segment as Actor's Daughter Laments ''Bad Form''

The 2015 BAFTA Film Awards seemingly went off without a hitch on Sunday evening in London, but Twitter was in a snit following the in memoriam segment after the montage concluded without mention of Bob Hoskins, who died last April at 71 from pneumonia after a battle with Parkinson’s disease. The actor’s daughter Rosa Hoskins tweeted, “Bad form #BAFTA #bobhoskins,” and Paddy Considine, who was in the British film A Room for Romeo Brass with Hoskins, tweeted, “Dear @BAFTA leaving out Bob Hoskins was a glaring error, and a COMPLETE travesty.” Writer-comedian David Baddiel added, “The omission of Bob Hoskins in the BAFTA remembrance montage seems symbolic of the erasure in modern times of the working-class actor.”
