An unfortunate lost-in-translation snafu happened at theBAFTAFilm Awards at Royal Festival Hall in London tonight, after Best Supporting Actress presenter Troy Kotsur announcedKerry Condonas the winner for her performance inThe Banshees of Inisherin.
BAFTA confirms to Deadline that Condons name was on the card, but the sign language interpreter providing voiceover for the audience appeared to mistakenly announceCarey Mulligan nominated in the category forShe Said as the winner.
Kotsur, and his on-stage British Sign Language interpreter, moved quickly to correct the error, ensuring Condon alone rose to travel to the stage.

We are told BAFTA and the BBC will also correct the error in their editing process ahead of the awards TV broadcast later this evening.
While the last four categories presented today will air live on the BBC, the rest of the show will broadcast on a delay.
Condon and herBansheesco-star Barry Keoghan picked up the trophies for Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor, pipping stateside favorites Angela Bassett and Ke Huy Quan.
