I absolutely loved it,&#8221; Bullen shared. &#8220;Everybody I&#8217;ve spoken to who was in the room absolutely loved it. She&#8217;s a huge star, she was amazing. The songs she was singing are very familiar songs, the room was clapping, and people were sort of dancing to the music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That rap section in the middle, mentioning the women in the room, was because it&#8217;s been a great year for women in film, and we wanted to celebrate that,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And here is a woman of color who is at the absolute top of her game. And she&#8217;s opening the BAFTAs with a song that said so much on so many levels. All of those mentions, I felt, from the moment we were rehearsing it right through to the transmission last night, spoke to what we wanted to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lgbt-remakes-of-fight-club-and-my-best-friends-wedding-are-in-the-works\">LGBT Remakes Of \u2018Fight Club&#8217; And \u2018My Best Friend&#8217;s Wedding&#8217; Are In The\u00a0Works<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWest Side Story\u201d star Ariana DeBose shared a cryptic message after being criticized for her now-viral rap at the BAFTA awards show in London on Sunday night.
