Leonardo giving Chiwetel a standing ovation at 0.22 is just Epic! I respect that!

Tom Hanks is so nice and whistled! He's so professional - how can anyone not love him!

Well done Chiwetel. You gave an excellent performance in 12 Years a Slave. I like how Leonardo DiCaprio stood up for him as he came up to get his award, shows real class.

Really deserved it, such an incredible performance. He forgot to thank Brad Pitt.

I love Tom Hanks and Christian Bale's reactions!

Well done Chiwetel, a well deserved win you sir are a brilliant actor and deserve everything!. I love how he mentions Ben ;)

He deserved that bafta , what a beautiful performance , I love him ❤️

I loved his performance in 12 years. So emotional and gut wrenching

I hope he wins at the Oscars.

It's kind of a joke he hasn't gotten bigger roles since this film, he gave one of the best performances I've ever seen and since then he's mostly been playing the fourth guy in big films

deserved! a wonderful, intelligent performance.

Congrats Chiwetel for a great job. Deserved.

Sidetrack, but Tom Hanks is freaking amazing for being so supportive. If you watch some of the other speeches too, he is whistling and cheering for all the winners. And rightly so!!! Chiwetel was AMAZING in 12 years a slave.

I really want Leo to win that oscar, but if any of the nominees win it I won't be let down because they all did a wonderful job.

I am so happy right now ... the best performance i have ever seen in a film

It's always good to see the other nominees being respectful to the winner; Tom Hanks and Christian Bale have both won sought after awards such as Academy Awards, so it was nice to see that they were clearly happy for Chiwetel Ejiofor here

It was no surprise to me this film won the Oscar & this man's performance would win numerous awards.This movie should be a mandatary showing to all high school seniors or college freshmen.

such an elegant inspiring actor, just life changing performance, well-deserved!

So well deserved. He was Awesome in this movie.

Congrats Chiwetel! At least the BAFTA gives the actors more time to talk! They don't interrupt the winners speeches with music like the Academy Awards do!

he should have won the oscar, easily one of the best performances I have ever seen

Wow what an amazing emotional speech... Congrats to him on this well-deserved win.

Aww Lupita's mother behind him being all proud of him

An amazing performance! Very well deserved!!!!

Happy Birthday Chiwetel Ejiofor. Congrats on your success.

That movie, so heart wrenching for me and many others all over the world

Well deserved!! I hope he wins the oscar too, what a powerful performance

Gorgeous actor and a very sympathic and down to earth person!

am proud of u obinna from Raleigh nc usa your mother and father land is proud of u too Nigeria is proud of you

I am soooooooo proud of his performance!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful actor:)

Brilliant. Great actor. Great performance. Great cast.

He was truly amazing as Solomon, what a fine actor. That movie was such a heartwrenching story, was gripped all the way. Chiwetel is one of the greats. This story needs to be told in schools to educate, and to keep Solomons story alive.

Aww! He's all teary-eyed, its kinda cute.

He is so fine!!💖💖💖💖

Bale , Hanks and Dicaprio look so happy :)

Congrats Chiwetel! great prformance! He deserved the Bafta!

You can tell how much the other actors truly loved his portrayal of Solomon Northup. I love Leo, he deserved his Oscar for The Departed as well as The Aviator. The Revenant was great, however, IMO Chiwetel Ejiofor deserved the Oscar.

most deserving man in the room

So deserved!! He deserved win an Oscar

Amazing actor.

Sometimes they get it right. This is well deserved.

He was brilliant, did not have a lot of lines but the look on his face conveyed so many emotions in his scenes.

It's nice to see all the heavy hitters, Pitt, Leo, Hanks, Bale, smiling and supporting the lesser known actors.

Glad to see he and Michael Fassbender decided to go wit the matching beard look for the BAFTAS!

On another note it was great to see all the other nominees have a smile on their face at Chiwetel winning,

I come back here every week.

Brad and all the other actors seemed so genuinely happy for him.

When Christian bale smiles. God it makes my day.

As much as I wanted Leo to win, I'm still happy for Chiwetel Ejiofor! He too did a phenomenal job!

He dam right deserve that award

He should have won the Oscar. Rewatching 12 Years a Slave, the performances from himself, Lupita Nyong'o and Michael Fassbender we're all worthy of the wins in their category. Each brought a raw emotion and power to the roles. All snubbed.

Congrats Boss!

A most remarkable part he played.

Chewetel Ejiofor went to my school.Yay

An incredible performance, but I would be lying if I didn't want DiCaprio to win the Oscar. Not so much for the actual performance, to be honest, but more to make up for how on Earth he hasn't won already.

Very very happy for Chiwetel! I thought he was the best that year and I really hope he gets the oscar even though Matthew McConaughey seems the probable winner..

YEEEES Chiwetel ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

12 years a slave ...love this film

what music is playing when he walks up? I can't place it.

Maybe next at the oscars leo! Great work Chiwetel. Bale still in my top 10. Tom Hanks a legend same for Mr.Dern

Wanted to see him win something. Should have gotten the Oscar.

I hope leo should win the oscar this year because he really deserves this

Can someone let me know the music at 0.06 please?

GODDAMMIT I LIKE THE WAY YOU DO BIDNES!

YES

The project wouldn't have been possible without Brad Pitt and he didn't even mention him once along ALL those other names..

Imagine him winning an oscar. Amazing, the guy has balls.

He played American characters so well I did not realize he was British until the movie Love Actually. He played Dewey Hughes, the Brother of Frank Hughes (played by Denzel)in American Gangster, he has become one of my favorite actors, he was awesome as the villain in Serenity as 'The Operative' ....but he ain't quite Denzel.....YET

He or Matthew should win this year. Both deserve it

sad that chadwick bose man died,, hope chiwetel will continue his legacy as black panther

What a fucking amazing actor.

Are he and Fassbender going to be in another movie together? They both have beards going.

He would have weon the Oscar that year.

Damn Tom Hanks whistled.

He should have won the Oscar.

I can't believe Chiwetel finally got an award, and you losers are ruining the positivity with your complaints about Leo. Did you complain when Matthew McCough(never really figured out how to spell it sorry) won all those other awards? Or was it natural to see him win? He's the big front runner and yet you can't appreciate that an underdog like Chiwetel got at least ONE award this season. Leo doesn't need sympathy, he's been a huge star for years with or without an Oscar. Chiwetel is trying to climb up, and for all we know this may be the peak of his career (which seems often the case with blacks who have a big awards season). So, cut the negativity and give him a clap for winning this once, even if Leo was "better", he lost to someone who did GREAT. He didn't lose to an inferior performance, so wrap your brains around that and think like adults. Duh.

He should have won the Oscars for that brilliant performance, one of the best I’ve ever seen

🇳🇬💚🇳🇬💚

1:52 WTF is Ronaldinho doing on the Baftas, sitting behind Tom Hanks?!?!?

RIP Black Phanter

Why not brat pitt?

Where's Matthew Mcconaughey?

Top 3 Chiwetel Ejiofor's Roles 1st Solomon Northup 2nd Scar 3rd Baron Mordo

Poor Leo 💔

this is your moment why cant you go to the barber before?

No one thanked Brad Pitt oof and Patsey too In Oscars she didn't even hug him😥. I guess it's all the nervousness because Brad Pitt is really good and deserves recognition

Leo is the real winner. Some of you maybe don't like The Wolf of Wall Street but his performance is nothing short of spectacular and intense, even better than the frontrunner, Matthew McConaughey. He deserves to win for everything he did in this film (including Candle Scene which is so brave and a lot more) but especially the crawling scene. That scene was filmed for one week and he has bad back pain since then. He put so many efforts into it and the result is incredible. Ok, Matt McConaughey lost some pounds but it does not mean his performance is the best. I was expecting so much more from Dallas Buyers Club, even though I have to admit, Jared Leto's performance as Rayon is definitely the best in the supporting category and he will win. I hoped Leo would win the BAFTA at least, but not only the Oscars are snubbing him for such a long time. He hasn't won BAFTA or SAG yet. This was his best chance to win, but Chiwetel Ejiofor is english, so I was sure he would win this one. I hope Oscar voters reconsider everything, and take a look of how great his performance is (y)

Dallas buyers club didn't qualify as it was released in 2014 in UK

The wrong guy won the Oscar the right guy won the BAFTA

BAFTA hopers to snap Oscar

He should've won the Oscar for best lead 😔

Song starting 00:06 - Mumfort&Sons?

brad pitt?

Brilliant performance, but Matthew McConaughey should be here. It is a bad thing, as he would have surely won was he nominated, making him one of those sweeping performances, and it is a good thing, as it lets Ejiofor win something.

Would love Leo to win at the Oscars now, maybe the BAFTA's are too biased to British actors and the like.

Btw Chiwetel's girlfriend is so gorgeous

Bale not standing up. man is too salty bwawawawa

I love this guy, but Leo dhouldhave won. His performance was mesmerizing and a lot more challenging

Congrats to Chiwetel, he did a fantastic job and deserved the win. But in my opinion Leonardo DiCaprio's should've won, his performance was so much better. I hope Leo wins the Oscar, he really gave it his all in this film.
