David Tennant may have just redefined the art of the awards show opening. Kilt-clad and brimming with Scottish pride, the actor launched the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2025 with a raucous, audience-led rendition of I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers. Delivered in a thick Scottish brogue, the performance was both an homage to his roots and a masterclass in how to command a room. With the energy of a pub singalong and the presence of a Shakespearean lead, Tennant reminded us that showmanship isn’t just about spectacle—it’s about bringing people together.
