— BAFTA February 2, 2020 Phoenix said that while he felt"honored" to be in attendance and appreciated the support from the BAFTA organization, he was"ashamed" that actors of color were not afforded the"same privilege.""I feel conflicted because so many of my fellow actors that are deserving don't have that same privilege. I think that we send a very clear message to people of color that you're not welcome here," Phoenix said.
