Additionally, the BAFTA Awards did not stream the final four categories live this year; they instead were broadcast as-live on the BBC with a two-hour delay along with the rest of the awards. The three-hour ceremony was edited down by an hour to make for a 120-minute runtime. Last year, the show ran with its usual two-hour delay, but the final four categories were broadcast live. BAFTA Awards director Emma Baehr said of the change: "We've tried lots of different things. Last year we went live... We're not going to be doing that this year. We tried it. It was good at the time, but it didn't add any more than what we needed."{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2024/film/global/bafta-awards-final-four-categories-live-2024-1235909147/ |title=BAFTA Awards Will Broadcast Ceremony, Including Best Film Category, With Two-Hour Delay |last=Yossman |first=K.J. |work=Variety |date=13 February 2024 |access-date=13 February 2024 |archive-date=13 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240213132710/https://variety.com/2024/film/global/bafta-awards-final-four-categories-live-2024-1235909147/ |url-status=live}}
While producer Emma Thomas was accepting the award for Best Film on behalf of Oppenheimer, social media personality Lizwani gatecrashed her speech. The cast and crew of Oppenheimer were seated on the right-hand side of the venue and after presenter Michael J. Fox announced the winner, Thomas, Christopher Nolan, Charles Roven and Cillian Murphy walked together onto the stage to collect the award. As Thomas was handed the award from Fox, Lizwani nonchalantly entered from the opposite side of the venue and ran onstage. Few audience members and viewers noticed him as he silently stood between Murphy and Roven while Thomas gave her acceptance speech. He was soon apprehended by security officials after he walked offstage with the film's team. A BAFTA spokesperson published a statement following the ceremony: "A social media prankster was removed by security last night after joining the winners of the final award on stage — we are taking this very seriously, and don't wish to grant him any publicity by commenting further."{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2024/film/global/baftas-best-film-prankster-oppenheimer-crashed-1235916123/ |title=BAFTAs Slam Social Media Prankster Who Crashed 'Oppenheimer's' Best Film Speech: 'We Are Taking This Very Seriously' (Exclusive) |last1=Yossman |last2=Ritman |first1=K.J. |first2=Alex |work=Variety |date=19 February 2024 |access-date=19 February 2024 |archive-date=19 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219114030/https://variety.com/2024/film/global/baftas-best-film-prankster-oppenheimer-crashed-1235916123/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/19/lizwani-bafta-youtuber-sneaks-on-stage-oppenheimer/ |title=YouTuber gatecrashes BAFTAs stage with 'Oppenheimer' stars – and nobody notices |last=Singh |first=Anita |work=The Telegraph |date=19 February 2024 |access-date=19 February 2024 |archive-date=19 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219151605/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/19/lizwani-bafta-youtuber-sneaks-on-stage-oppenheimer/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2024/02/bafta-prankster-oppenheimer-best-film-speech-1235830794/ |title=BAFTA Says Security Removed Prankster Who Gatecrashed 'Oppenheimer' Best Film Speech |last=Kanter |first=Jake |work=Deadline Hollywood |date=19 February 2024 |access-date=19 February 2024 |archive-date=19 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219131008/https://deadline.com/2024/02/bafta-prankster-oppenheimer-best-film-speech-1235830794/ |url-status=live }}
