Zoe Saldana was removed from the stage after accepting her award for supporting actress in one of the worst films to come out this year as she repeatedly swears during her BAFTAs speech.

The film, Elimia Pérez has gotten a solid 17% score on Rotten Tomatoes and 5.5 on IMDB, and yet still ended up in the BAFTAs somehow. Not only that, it took home two of its nominations, winning Best Film In A Foreign Language and Best Supporting Actress.
The film furthered its BAFTAs controversy, with some rather foul language during the acceptance speech for Zoe Saldana. The whole ordeal was painful to watch, as she wept and wailed through her thanks. The countdown she was inevitably landed with with was a mercy.
However, it took Saldana by surprise, too wrapped up in her BAFTAs tears to notice she was taking liberties. As her countdown to leave began, she explained "Oh my god I'm getting a countdown. F***! F**k! F***!"
Finally, the embarrassment of the weepy BAFTAs Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech was over. It was time to move on to something else and pray we didn't see anything else from the absolute atrocity of a film.
Expletives Were The Only Interesting Part Of Acceptance Speech
The speech, which went on for three minutes, was a waffling and dull slog for everyone to listen to. As she noted, the film was a real "creative challenge of a lifetime." She asked, "How do you even begin to approach a film that defies categorization?"
