BAFTA Separate Viewing

Tourette's Activist John Davidson Watches BAFTA Scotland Awards From Separate Space

John Davidson, a Tourette syndrome activist, is returning to the British Academy Film Awards for the BAFTA Scotland Awards in Glasgow, where the film based on his life, "I Swear," is up for 7 awards. However, he will be watching from a separate space from the main ceremony, which he will watch via video link from a "relaxed space" inside the venue. This comes after Davidson made headlines at the BAFM Awards in February when he involuntarily shouted the n-word at present, which led to an independent review into how the situation was handled. The review found that BAFTA's duty of care fell short and highlighted issues with its planning and response.
