The legendary actress, who was being arrested at a climate crisis protest on Capitol Hill, accepted the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award. She was given a standing ovation from the audience.
There is video playing of Jane Fonda saying “Thank you BAFTA... I’m sorry I’m not there!” - recorded as she was being arrested!!! Huge standing O ensues.
