If you didn't think you could like Salma Hayek any more than you already do, she delivered one of the night's most memorable - and hilarious - moments when presenting the Best Actor BAFTA.

When she came to the stage, she said, "In this very important and historical year for women, I am here on this legendary stage to celebrate men."

And when it came for Hayek to announce the winner of the award, she went full-troll by announcing Frances McDormand as the winner, before finally revealing the real recipient to be Gary Oldman.

In a fairly down-the-line, predictable ceremony, Hayek's cheeky interjection created a moment both entertaining and enormously relevant, making worldwide headlines within hours.
