Daisy Ridley and Luke Evans came out to present the clumsily-titled Best Special Visual Effects award, and after Ridley extolled the virtues of visual effects, Evans added, "I think we might need to do some conjuring up of our own, because I've forgotten the envelope."

Ridley replied, "Luckily enough, I can sort that. I've got something super-special, very visual and hopefully extremely effective", as she looked up to see a Cirque du Soleil acrobat descend from the ceiling on a hula hoop, holding the envelope.

A delighted Evans took the envelope and added, "Upstaged much?" before the nominees were read out.
