BAFTA has come under fire for appearing to snub Bob Hoskins and Rik Mayall during the event's annual obituary montage.
Despite Bob Hoskins winning a BAFTA in 1986 for his role as George in the film ‘Mona Lisa’, he didn’t feature as part of the traditional ‘In Memoriam’ section of the event, following his death last year.

Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to express their anger at the apparent snub of both stars when late actors such as Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney and Lauren Bacall were honoured.
