00:00Put your hands together for Stephen Merchant.
00:03I know what you're all wondering, and the answer is two meters tall, all right?
00:15And some of you are also, if you're football fans, you're thinking, why is this award presented
00:19by Jürgen Klopp?
00:20It's not Jürgen Klopp.
00:22It's me, Stephen Merchant, as you said, and I'm here to present this award, and I would
00:26like to say that as someone who writes, directs, does all sorts of things, I know how hard
00:31it is to take a story that you think of in your head and to put it on screen, and that
00:36we can enjoy and we can even celebrate.
00:37So it is an extraordinary achievement, so congratulations to you all for being able
00:42to do that.
00:43It is a magnificent achievement.
00:44Now then, I'm going to give these nominations a go, and even though my grandmother was Welsh,
00:52I don't speak Welsh, Joanna did an amazing job.
00:56I think I'm going to struggle, so I'm so sorry if I say the Welsh name wrong.
01:02Please forgive me.
01:03But the nominees for best film, 12 to 15, are The Language of Cymraeg, yes, yes, made
01:14by 16 young people aged 11 to 14 from Ysgol Bryn Devor, almost.
01:20Can you say it for me?
01:23I mean, I was way off.
01:24I was way off there.
01:25And they've spelled it all out for me as well on here with just, but I'm, anyway, you're
