David Tennant's hilarious opening monologue | EE BAFTA Film Awards 2024 

probably because michael wasnt actually holding him

some bond villain as bark ruffalo 's pet

I can't help seeing Scrooge McDuck speaking when he's not on screen

Funny vibes😊

he is simply scottish, a normal scotsman...

As a Scotsman, it doesn't register in my head that he's so Scottish haha! But it is nice to see someone with our accent presenting an award ceremony (and I have always loved David Tenant!!)

funny about that 😉

🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩

You talking about this one or the MCU? 😂

@@xbellamuerteYes.

Oh, and Mads Mikkelsen, and Tom Hiddleston 😍

I know he's commented in a lengthy interview about performance anxiety but there he is as someone wrote: Tigger on steroids. ALL my admiration.

Sa était bien ni vulgaire dans ses blagues

I liked your comment because it's so rare these days that anything happens that doesn't elicit some kind of on-line ..... stuff. Well done DT.

I love David’s humbleness. He told a group of actors who were graduating from a theater school to be kind. If you’re kind, you will be invited back for numerous appearances.

Yes. THIS!!!

@@alexandrahope8814 Agree and he's really modest about it all, vr different from Stephen Fry e.g. but 2 wonderful blokes, vr different but absolutely genuine.

He played Kilgrave perfectly in Jessica jones

But why bring it? I don’t get it… does the man not have a friend or relative he can leave it with? Or hire a dog sitter? 🤔

​@@Shazzadut1 There was an opening sketch involving it, which I have just watched.

@@beth12svist I'm sure that's what they're referencing

@@Shazzadut1the dog is supposed to be there he was nominated 😂😂😂

True!

Gosh, I'm not even a native Englis speaker and I got it, in spite of Tennant's accent. People are so self conscious about their perfect poised image that they can't pay attention

Watching Rosamund Pike light up five seconds after the joke was told was totally worth it

I felt that audience has never got it actually 😂

Why? Aye is the Scots for 'yes'. I suppose most British would get the joke.

*well...he is doing well...or he is doing such a good job...or he is doing such a great job...he is good, and he is doing well...

He needs to come back next year and do it!

He’s doing WELL

😁✨️👌

You do know he is a groomer?

I am the bad fairy at the party. A fan with a web site is obsessed with this hardworking loveable guy and commented in excruciating detail on his clothes during a promo. I was extremely uncomfortable. Thought he did a great job and the entries excellent IMO.

Agreed. Pretty fabulous.

@@EvelynBaron are you a real human?

Bloody blind!

When I read that first I read his gorgeous kit. I thought oh you must’ve been up close and personal 😅

nope

@@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists yes. Get lost.

@@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists yes.

um what???? he’s an international treasure obviously.

@@yikesmydude5641 My sentiments exactly!

Its the British awards you can't expect too much

@@TheTreenitywym

@@dan.ashdown british audiences don't have the applaud/laugh light to tell them what to do and when. Not to mention we don't have a tendency to be exuberant watching anything

I think they were all on edge given how disasterous the last few awards hosts have been

LOUDERRE

it wasn't funny

My thoughts exactly. They’ve gone to the trouble of getting dressed up and turning up - you’d think they’d try and enjoy themselves, let alone appreciate the greatness that is DT!!

Maybe the accent?

But most of the time he wasn't talking about MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE.

I noticed! Displayed her acting chops right on the spot 😅

Same! Though I couldn’t tell if it was that he’s so unimpressed, or actually stopped to think deeply about his parents/“brother”?!… I’m expecting he’ll be a meme though 😄

​@@al.x.deeply about parents/ brother ? Why

Maybe he had a hard time understanding the Scottish accent? I know I had to watch with closed captions.

He knows he’s not gonna win 😂

@@itsbonkerjojo9028 David had just made a joke about how everyone's parents didn't love them as much as their siblings, and Bradley sat there looking bummed as if the joke hit home.

He's just a special human being

Can someone explain I sind understand🥹

@@jojo_nautin1958 It's about the fact that last year Michelle Yeoh's win, and many other Oscar wins, saw Cate lose despite being superior in some areas.

@@bonino_0658 so it's a racist comment about diversity? are we pretending that michelle yeoh wasn't superior?

she was not superior @@Saffronelle

@@house30house incorrect

I like your comment, and share your enthusiasm. He's reading a teleprompter and radiating good will. Just imagine Billy Connolly, one of his heroes.... 🛴🛴😊😊❤❤

Except for the year he finally gets nominated!

I wanna see him and Michael host together. That would be unforgettable

@@kaishaman7144 Indeed!!!

Imagine if they asked Michael instead of David next year 😂

David absolutely killed it 👌🙂

i've just now realized that he plays him because of this, thank you !!!

@@birdieinacage yeah director of 4 wasted David Tennant in that role, cos in the books Jr has a lot more to do

yet he still remains in history as the first actor (and only by now) to have played two incarnations of Doctor Who

@@tudorpop8959 Arguable. If we accept that The Curator is a future incarnation of the Doctor, David is second.

That was him?! 🤯

Because its American and Americans aren't self deprecating

Oscars is better. BAFTAs writing was cringe imo

@@imalwaysright They're all awful. Who cares about all this sycophantic, self indulgent crap for a bunch of out of touch, narcissistic hypocrites?

​@imalwaysright Americans aren't very good at comedy. Probably why the only good thing about the Oscars was Ricky Gervais.

​@@RyanG0899Ricky has never hosted or won an oscar

I grew up in a rural area about 30 minutes from a Hershey factory. My school went on a field trip to it every year. There wasn't much there, just a self-guided tour that as might normally take half-an-hour, but as a bunch of kids single digits in age, we blew through in a few minutes. Then we'd descend on the gift shop, get all hopped up on sugar, and run around the grounds like mad things until it was time for the bus ride home. Great memories, but not even for nostalgia's sake will I touch Hershey's chocolate.

Not even for a second...

Confirmed

Normal British faces. 🤨 Americans probably can't understand his accent and British terms. 🤭

Who's he?

​@@bobburroughs6241Actor, it was a joke that he played the dog. I guess because of his most famous rolles which required computer, cgi..

As were 95% of the people in the room.

@@timokosc1388gollum in lord of the rings. captain haddock in tin tin , baloo in jungle book , caesar in planet of the apes .etc. he s a great actor , the fdifference is he works his voice well as well .and most other actors cannot and he does get paid as an actor proper

It's David Tennant. He's always cute.

I think you might just be used to him deliberately putting on a different accent or a softer version of his accent since he often does both of those. I think here he's just being himself and not putting on any kind of voice.

Because he IS Scottish! It is in the UK so he isn't trying to please you Americans

​@@user-hu6lr3vr7gno need to be rude. He isn't tempering his Scottish accent for the presentation.

He's Scottish born and bred,this is him au naturale,a testament to his ability as an actor to commit to the role he's playing,a master of his craft.

No met him a few years ago, that’s his true accent? West Lothian, it’s probably softened over the years? Thought he really held it together.

Absolutely spot on!!!!😅😅😅

Most of them are British 😂

they did NOT appreciate his energy

❤

You are completely right. The Gervais thing was quite mean spirited at times. People get on this high horse because some actors are famous when the reality is that even a lot of famous actors don't actually make all that much money. Now people can disagree on how much money acting deserves but they shouldn't be disingenuous about the actual reality of being an actor.

Well they had to place Aussie royalty next to Brit royalty 😅

Nah, Americans can usually understand the Scottish accent. Yorkshire is another story.

accent? What accent?

Really?

I'm American and I understand perfectly fine. Much better than the Hollywood, "I wanna be a rapper" dialect.

@@amysimpson646 Geordie gave me fits when I lived for a year near Newcastle.

That's not a delusion. He actually did Scrooge McDuck!
