Less than 24 hours after the world premiere of Cannes favorite Andrea Arnold’s new competition entry Bird, the filmmaker joined her cast for the festival press conference inside the Palais on Friday. The wide-ranging session covered Arnold’s creative influences, casting choices and the music playlists she gives to her actors.
It also touched on star Barry Keoghan‘s dance abilities as the actor delivers another on screen dance break, this one following his viral fully nude Saltburn finale to the tune of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dance Floor.” In Arnold’s Bird, Keoghan busts a move to “Cotton Eye Joe” and then delivers a solo performance at the microphone, singing and dancing to serenade his new bride at their wedding reception.

BBC Radio One’s Live Lounge often brings out the best of the biggest stars, capturing them as they reimagine songs by other artists, but in their distinct style. On Monday, Maggie Rogers stopped by the Live Lounge to perform an acoustic rendition of Tate McRae’s radio staple “Greedy,” slowing down the track and backing it with only guitar and piano.

Even The Beatles didn’t always knock it out of the park. Case in point: John Lennon once said that George Harrison wasn’t hip anymore. Here’s a look at whether he was right.
John Lennon said George Harrison was ‘out’ the way The Beatles once were
The book Lennon on Lennon: Conversations With John Lennon features an interview from 1975. In it, John said he wasn’t impressed with one of George’s live shows. “Now it’s always The Beatles were great or The Beatles weren’t great, whatever opinion people hold,” he said. “There’s a sort of illusion about it. But the actual fact was The Beatles were in for eight months, The Beatles were out for eight months.
“The public, including the media, are sometimes a bit sheeplike and if the ball starts rolling, well, it’s just that somebody’s in, somebody’s out,...

Before Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” became a 2024 viral hit thanks to Saltburn, it was a major European hit in 2002. And before it was a 2002 hit, it was merely a demo, scribbled out partially by its co-writer, Gregg Alexander — who originally wrote the lyrics “I’m gonna make us hit the Hague/ Once you hit the bong.”
Alexander, who was also the frontman and songwriter for New Radicals, best known for their hit “You Get What You Give,” revealed the origins of “Murder on the Dancefloor” in a new interview with The Guardian. He unearthed the song’s original demo, which he wrote in his Mustang in the mid ’90s while living in Detroit.
“I had a moment of annoyance that I couldn’t go to the house clubs in Detroit,” Alexander told The Guardian, sharing that he originally had written the song for his band before it...

“Murder on the Dancefloor” once had lyrics about bong hits and the Hague, with co-writer Gregg Alexander (of the New Radicals) sharing part of the old demo for the future Sophie Ellis-Bextor hit with The Guardian.
Alexander wrote “Murder on the Dancefloor” in the mid-90s, and the demo snippet definitely bears some hallmarks of the era. Though it still has the big, bright synth stabs and riffs essential to Ellis-Bextor’s version, it’s more pop-rock than disco pastiche, cut with hits of rave and hip-hop that feel very of that moment.

Peter Bradshaw surveys the new wave of film-makers arriving at the film’s stately location, channelling Barry Keoghan’s Big Energy and capturing their granny’s reaction to the bathwater slurp
So often, the radical cheek of TikTokers makes mainstream media look pretty dull, and so it has proved once again, with the explosion of uproarious Saltburn TikToks. These are reportedly causing deep pain to Mr Charles Stopford Sackville, owner of the 700-year-old Drayton House in Northamptonshire, which plays the stately home in question, through which Barry Keoghan finally does his groovy nude dance to Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder on the Dancefloor.
Stopford Sackville got a generous fee for letting them film there and knows the parents of director Emerald Fennell, but is still now miffed at TikTokers killing his groove by straying off the public footpath close to his estate, insolently filming and telling other commoners how to get there and gawp.

“I never envisaged the amount of interest there would be,” says the owner of the stately home used in Emerald Fennell’s saucy streaming hit, Saltburn.
In a leafy tract of Northamptonshire countryside, the owner of a vast stately home shudders behind his curtains as the sound of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor drifts in from the garden.
It’s a curious situation triggered by Emerald Fennell’s drama-thriller Saltburn, which, thanks in no small part to some of its saucier moments, has emerged as one of the most talked-about films of 2023. And as the film’s fame has spread, so too has interest in the huge stately home in which the bulk of its drama takes place.
Called Saltburn in the film, the 700 year-old pile is in reality Drayton House, located in the village of Lowick near the A14.

While the house in Saltburn may seem compelling, its real-life owner Charles Stopford Sackville would like fans of Emerald Fennell’s hit film to stop trespassing on his property. Sackville, who owns Drayton House, told the Mail on Sunday that the success of Saltburn has caused an influx of tourists and influencers appearing on the stately house’s grounds.
“I never envisaged the amount of interest there would be,” Sackville said. “It’s quite weird. I don’t take it as flattering. How would you feel if people were taking pictures outside your house?...

A recent BBC interview with Andrew Scott went viral for all the wrong reasons, as a red carpet reporter at the BAFTA Awards prompted the “All of Us Strangers” star to walk away in discomfort after repeatedly asking him to speak about Barry Keoghan’s nude scene in “Saltburn.” Given that Scott had no involvement in the Emerald Fennell film, many felt that pressing the openly gay actor to discuss Keoghan’s prosthetic genitalia was an inappropriate line of questioning.
In the clip, which can be watched below, the reporter asks a visibly uncomfortable Scott multiple questions about Keoghan’s nude scene, before admitting that his questions might have been “too much” when Scott walks away. The viral moment added fuel to the ongoing debate about the ethics of asking stars inappropriate questions in red carpet settings.

BBC News released a detailed statement about that viral red carpet interview where a reporter continually pressed Andrew Scott about Barry Keoghan’s nudity in Saltburn.
For those who missed it (video below), the BBC’s Colin Paterson, covering the BAFTAs red carpet, pressed Scott — who was supporting his film All of Us Strangers — about how well he knew his fellow Irish thespian Keoghan, what he thought of the latter’s naked dance scene in Saltburn, and whether he thought Keoghan used a prosthetic penis in the scene, demanding, “How well do you know him?”
Scott is openly gay, has not appeared in any films with Keoghan, looked highly uncomfortable and walked off during the interview. The interview went viral, with many finding the line of questioning inappropriate, possibly homophobic and all around awkward as hell.

The BBC has acknowledged that a line of questioning to Andrew Scott over the notorious nudity scene in Saltburn was “misjudged.”
The broadcaster said today it had received complaints from people who felt a question asked to the All of Us Strangers star – who does not appear in Saltburn – was “inappropriate and homophobic” during Sunday’s BAFTA red carpet coverage.
In the scene, Saltburn lead Barry Keoghan is seen dancing naked at the end of the movie.
“Our question to Andrew Scott was meant to be a light hearted reflection of the discussion around the scene and was not intended to cause offence,” said the BBC, adding that Saltburn writer and director, Emerald Fennell, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, whose song ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ was used in the sequence, were also asked about it.
“We do, however, accept that the specific question asked to Andrew Scott was misjudged,” the BBC went on today.

Barry Keoghan is aware of the attention surrounding his body and viral nude dance scene in Saltburn.
In an interview with Vanity Fair for its 2024 Hollywood Issue, the actor said that though the public’s reaction is “crazy” and prone to being “detrimental to the mind and your mental state,” he was prepared ahead of time.
“It can be detrimental to the mind and your mental state if you read into it too much or you look at too much stuff being said,” he said. “But I wouldn’t go there if I wasn’t prepared for that, or if I wasn’t open to receiving what people want to say. I think it shows an act of maturity in your craft, and if it justifies the story and moves it forward, why not?”
Keoghan noted how nudity is common in European cinema and normally “not a massive thing” to audiences.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is gearing up to tour around North America for the first time and adding more cities for fans to see her perform “Murder on the Dance Floor” live.
The British singer’s song is featured in the final scene of Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, where Barry Keoghan’s Oliver dances naked around the manor. After the scene went viral, the song, co-written by Ellis-Bextor and Gregg Alexander, also went viral on social media.
“Murder on the Dance Floor” was originally released in 2001, but it never charted on the Billboard Hot 100 until now, peaking at 51 recently.
Ellis-Bextor recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon where she performed the viral hit and the star is now embarking on a North America tour.
The artist announced her first-ever live show in NYC, set to take place on June 6 at Webster Hall, and the date quickly sold out.

Andrew Scott appeared to walk away from a BBC News red carpet interview at the BAFTA Film Awards after being asked about Barry Keoghan’s Saltburn nude dance.
Scott was asked about his reaction to the scene by BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson. “I won’t spoil it for anyone. It’s great, it’s great,” Scott replied.
Paterson then invited Scott to “spoil away” and asked: “There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?” He waved away the question and motioned to move down the red carpet.
A clip of the exchange has been viewed more than 2M times on Twitter, now known as X. Paterson’s line of questioning to Scott, who is gay, was criticized by X users.
Line of Duty actor Craig Parkinson accused the BBC of “lazy and possibly offensive journalistic pit falls,” while former BBC entertainment commissioner Sohail Shah said it was cringeworthy.
Scott was asked about his reaction to the scene by BBC entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson. “I won’t spoil it for anyone. It’s great, it’s great,” Scott replied.
Paterson then invited Scott to “spoil away” and asked: “There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?” He waved away the question and motioned to move down the red carpet.
A clip of the exchange has been viewed more than 2M times on Twitter, now known as X. Paterson’s line of questioning to Scott, who is gay, was criticized by X users.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed “Murder on the Dancefloor during the BAFTAs, the British Academy Film and Television Arts Awards, on Sunday.
Dressed in a black gown with a vibrant, colorful overlay draping the skirt, Ellis-Bextor strutted across the stage backed by a bevy of dancers as she performed her 2001 number, which has been everywhere since it got a second life with the success of Saltburn, which features the track during a pivotal scene.
Ellis-Bextor nabbed her first Hot 100 hit with the song in January, and made her U.S. television debut...

After a few years in limbo, the BAFTAs finally found a host to replace the much-missed Stephen Fry in David Tennant. The Doctor Who actor proved an amiable and funny emcee, although much of his humor would have gone way over the non-Brits in the audience, starting with a lengthy filmed skit riffing on his BBC TV series Staged, co-starring Michael Sheen. (You can watch it above.)
It was a night of surprises, not especially pleasant ones for the teams behind Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon, and there were no egregious upsets. Neither were there any of the usual technical nightmares that have plagued the event in the past.
Instead, there were lots of low-key but memorable moments, like Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr., dressed in a gray tail suit to collect his Best Supporting Actor award recalling his life in 30 seconds.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph was similarly charming on accepting her Best Supporting Actress award, swooning over presenter Chiwetel Ejiofor and bringing her Holdovers co-star Paul Giamatti to tears when she told him, “I cry every time I see your name.” Equally emotional were June Givanni, receiving this year’s Outstanding Contribution award; Samantha Morton, whose BFI Fellowship was awarded after filmed testimony from Tom Cruise; and the whole audience, who went wild for Still’s Michael J. Fox who handed out the Best Film award to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Wonka star Keegan-Michael Key, presenting, sustained a surprisingly funny attempt to pretend to be British, and, taking the first award of the night for Best Original Screenplay, husband and wife team Justine Triet and Arthur Harari joked that their murderous marital drama Anatomy of a Fall had taken on a life of its own.
All night, speeches were crisp and clean, with only the teams behind The Zone of Interest and 20 Days in Mariupol bringing politics into the conversation, even after Tennant gave the go-ahead by mentioning the recent murder of Alexei Navalny, subject of last year’s Best Documentary winner.
The musical numbers left a lot to be desired. Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed her Saltburn showstopper “Murder on the Dancefloor,” which is more than a few rungs down from Shirley Bassey doing “Diamonds Are Forever” in 2022. Meanwhile, Hannah Waddingham doing a slowed-down version of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” wasn’t quite what the particularly touching obituary sequence was crying out for. By far the worst of all, though, was a comedy routine by Nick Mohammed performing as a sweaty light entertainer called Mr. Swallow. We must never think or speak of it again.

Who says film awards ceremonies can’t also be fun and surprising? Sunday’s BAFTA Film Awards ceremony in London, hosted by Scottish actor David Tennant (Doctor Who, Inside Man), had members of the crowd in a state of surprise thanks to an unannounced appearance, on roller skates, by Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed, performing as Mr. Swallow, his alter ego from England’s Leeds, a character he has portrayed across stage and TV for more than a decade.
For those not familiar with the character, he quipped that he was a mix of British ice skaters “Torvill and Dean and the crab from The Little Mermaid.” He also described Ted Lasso as “a TV horror about biscuits and the effects of having a mustache on your mental health.”
Even the runup to Sunday’s film honors had industry folks buzzing with anticipation. After all, many were arriving at the venue,...

London, Feb 18 (Ians) The UK-Polish historical drama about Auschwitz concentration camp, ‘The Zone of Interest’, based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis, has won the BAFTA for the best film not in the English language, reports BBC.
Directed by Jonathan Glazer, the film, which has also been nominated for Oscars, focuses on the family of the camp commandant, Rudolf Höss, his wife Hedwig and their five children living a regular life next door to the chamber of horrors.
Hoss ran Auschwitz between 1940 and 1943, and used poisonous insecticide Zyklon B to gas prisoners. An estimated 1.1 million were murdered at Auschwitz, one million of whom were Jews. Yet, just metres away, his family enjoyed their spacious house, plentiful food and manicured garden — separated from the camp by a concrete wall, notes BBC.
Glazer, who made the film near the site in Auschwitz, chose to hint at the terrible events inside the camp.

It was “Murder on the Dancefloor” at Sunday’s BAFTA Film Awards ceremony in London. English singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed her 2001 smash hit “Murder on the Dancefloor,” featured in Emerald Fennell’s BAFTA-nominated film Saltburn, at the ceremony, greeted by joyous screams and much applause from the crowd in attendance.
She was surrounded by a group of dancers who showed off their moves during the number’s finale.
The British Academy’s big annual awards night, hosted by Scottish actor David Tennant (Doctor Who, Inside Man), attracted a star-studded audience to the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London. Among the pre-announced BAFTA presenters were such celebrities as David Beckham, Cate Blanchett, Dua Lipa, Idris Elba, Hugh Grant and Gillian Anderson.

“Oppenheimer” swept the BAFTAs on Sunday night, winning awards for director Christopher Nolan and actor Cillian Murphy as well as taking home the prize for best film.
Overall, the movie took home seven golden BAFTA masks, with “Poor Things” coming in second place with five wins.
BAFTA chair Sarah Putt opened the ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday night by welcoming the star-studded audience, which included Prince William, who arrived solo as his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, continues to recuperate at home following an operation. William, who is president of BAFTA, did not give a speech, no doubt in part because of renewed interest in his personal life following his father King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis last month.
In her speech, Putt said she was sending Catherine and the King “our very best wishes” before handing over to the night’s host, “Doctor Who” star David Tennant.

“And the BAFTA goes to… Oppenheimer” Those words were on BAFTA Film Awards ceremony presenters’ lips a total of seven times in London on Sunday at the ceremony, hosted by Scottish actor David Tennant (Doctor Who, Inside Man) at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in the British capital.
Those included the lips of Michael J. Fox, who unveiled the best film award for Oppenheimer after coming on stage to a huge welcome and standing ovation.
The wins for Oppenheimer included the best actor award for Cillian Murphy, best supporting actor nod for Robert Downey Jr., director award for Christopher Nolan and best film, for Nolan and other members of the film team. The two BAFTAs for Nolan mean that third time was the charm for the big-name British export who had previously never won a British Academy award.

Prince William is set to attend the BAFTA Awards solo this Sunday as his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, is still recovering at home after a serious abdominal surgery last month.
William has been president of BAFTA – better known as the British Academy of Film and Television Arts – since 2010.
Last year he and Catherine spread some royal stardust at the ceremony after a two-year absence. It meant they were also able to witness a touching tribute to the prince’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was honored by Helen Mirren in a segment during the awards show following her death five months earlier.
It’s been another difficult year for William’s family, with his father King Charles III diagnosed with cancer last month. He is currently undergoing treatment. Meanwhile Catherine was admitted to hospital four weeks ago for an unspecified surgery that required a 10-day in-patient stay. She is...

As first reported by Variety, Ellis-Bextor will perform at the biggest night in British film on February 18th at London’s Royal Festival Hall in Southbank.

The 2024 BAFTA Awards isn’t exactly the proper place to recreate Barry Keoghan’s freewheeling naked dance scene in Emerald Fennell’s film Saltburn. But Sophie Ellis-Bextor will deliver a far more appropriate performance of her 2001 hit “Murder on the Dancefloor,” which is currently experiencing a major resurgence thanks to the movie, at the 2024 BAFTA Awards.
“We are excited to announce that the amazing Sophie Ellis-Bextor will be performing live at the Ee BAFTA Film Awards 2024! Tune in on Sunday 18 February on BBC One and iPlayer and BritBox in North America,...

British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor will perform her 2001 chart-topper “Murder on the Dancefloor,” most recently known as the concluding viral song from Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn, at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards.
Returning to the charts 22 years after its first release, “Murder on the Dancefloor” and Ellis-Bextor attracted a whole new crowd of younger, largely online fans following the release of Saltburn. In the pic — which has five noms at this year’s BAFTAs — lead actor Barry Keoghan ends the feature with a prolonged dance sequence to the track. Keoghan is naked in the scene, which has fast become a viral meme on TikTok and other social media sites. The track has become so popular that Ellis-Bextor even announced plans to rerelease the song on vinyl later this year.
“What’s happened with the song and how it’s got new people who weren’t even alive the first time it came out listening to it.

One of the most unforgettable scenes in Saltburn — as in, once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it, like many scenes in the surprisingly delightful cringefest — portrays Barry Keoghan lapping up Jacob Elordi’s bathwater after the latter actor, uh, gratified himself in the tub. Of course, because the sight is startling and intriguing, the People of the Internet have made candles — many of them — dubbed “Jacob Elordi’s Bathwater” to give curious viewers a similar experience to Keoghan’s. On Thursday night, Elordi took a whiff for himself.

Say what you will about "Saltburn" -- the film that /Film's own Jacob Hall touted as the "feel bad" comedy of 2023 -- Emerald Fennell's follow-up to "Promising Young Woman" has inspired a bit of pearl-clutching and eye-rolling in equal measure. Its "twist" ending, admittedly, isn't all that surprising but the film's final moments more than make up for any alleged predictability.
"Saltburn" derives its name from the ancestral home of a well-to-do English family, and the bulk of its action takes place on the lush property in the summer of 2007. When golden boy Felix (Jacob Elordi) brings his lower-class friend Oliver (Barry Keoghan) home for the holiday, a sultry, psychosexual class war ensues. Its descent into madness is chalk full of depraved yearning, posh dinner parties, and laugh-out-loud line readings. "Saltburn" is a film best experienced cold, but among its most talked-about scenes is its final closing moment.
