Kate Beckinsale says the parents working BAFTA cannot make any guarantees in terms of honoring her late stepfather — which she thinks is outrageous … and he or she could also be proper.
The actress tore the British academy a brand new one Thursday in an IG put up — during which she alleged producers for the annual award present (mainly, the UK model of the Oscars/Globes) advised her the recently late Roy Battersby won’t be acknowledged of their program.

KB posted a pic of her stepdad receiving a lifetime achievement BAFTA award years in the past for work he’d executed in tv throughout the pond, and Kate went on to air her frustration.
She writes, “Today BAFTA told me they ‘could not guarantee’ he would be included in their “in memoriam” tribute , to honour the industry members we have lost. So a man dead less than a week somehow has to audition in front of a committee after a decades long career (in which he has been awarded from said organisation the highest accolade they have) to decide IF his death is worth mentioning.”

As if that wasn’t scathing sufficient, Kate provides … “I am paralysed ,sick and sickened and I will honour him and his work every day of my life.” She went on to say her mom, Judy Loe, has been quietly battling most cancers behind the scenes too … making this perceived snub worse.
One final ultimate dig at BAFTA from Kate … “[T]hanks again , BAFTA for your horribly cold email.” Oof, speak about sincere — one thing tells us Roy will make it in there in spite of everything.
