When presenting the winner of the Best Director award at Bafta 2024 this Sunday (18), Hugh Grant channeled his role as Oompa Loompa, in “Wonka”, and sang the result.
“Oompa Loompa doompety dee, now the Best Director category. Oompa Loompa doompety dong, most of these movies were frankly too long. Oompa Loompa doompety dah, but for some reason the nominees are…” Grant recited, imitating his character’s song.
“Oompa Loompa….”
Just what I needed to hear Hugh Grant say 😀
