Rebel Wilson was a presenter at Sunday night's BAFTAs and made a controversial joke that referenced transgender characters.
"I have never been invited to the Oscars because, you know, they are racists," she said while presenting the award for Best Supporting Actor. "But the BAFTAs have diverse members. And that's what we all want to see in life, isn't it? Diverse members. One day I hope to return here to win a BAFTA myself. I have already been practicing my transgendered [sic] face."
While some took to Twitter expressing out rage over the joke, others thought Wilson's comment was actually mocking non-trans actors winning accolades by playing trans roles.

I agree with this part - Priyant Pratap @Priyant1987
Rebel Wilson's joke isn't one directed at the trans community but at films that cast cis actors in those roles and get applauded for it
