Ohhhhh, I definitely skimmed the article and what you were saying and came away believing the duo were talking about a movie in which tourettes was being explored as a theme when it happened.
Then yeah, censoring would have been prudent. But all the same, the fallout should have been negligible because someone apologizes to the two actors. Short of that, the controversy should have been the negligence of the hosts. And I suppose they optimized for clicks with the title while trying to do justice with the first sentence being
Lindo said he and his "Sinners" costar "did what we had to do" while presenting, but he wished "someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterwards."
So a lot of annoyances along the way to get to this point. It made for sloppy handling of the situation. Even if you're not prepared, you, the people in charge of the event, not the person with the disability, just go up to them and say sorry.
