The vocal stars behind Netflix's biggest ever hit, KPop Demon Hunters, took to the stage at the 2026 BAFTAs at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday - despite the movie being ineligible for a gong.
Rei Ami, EJAE and Audrey Nuna from the group Huntr/x performed their smash hit Golden with viewers branding their set 'killer'.
Due to BAFTAs failing to have a Best Original song category, unlike the Oscars, and the film failing to meet the mandatory theatrical release requirements in the UK they have not received any nominations.
The trio looked sensational as they belted out the catchy tune for the star-studded audience surrounded by a huge group of dancers.
This mark's their first live performance together outside the US and as clips hit social media ahead of the TV broadcast, fans went wild.
One fan said: 'Even at award shows it’s not eligible for, #KPopDemonHunters is winning. #BAFTA'.

Rei Ami, EJAE(pictured) and Audrey Nuna from the group Huntr/x performed their smash hit Golden with viewers branding their set 'killer'.
Due to BAFTAs failing to have a Best Original song category and the film failing to meet the mandatory theatrical release requirements in the UK they have not received any nominations.
While another gushed: 'Stage on fire. EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami lighting up the BAFTA Film Awards with Golden. Power vocals, killer energy what a performance'.
And: 'This performance was lowkey fire, they ate that bafta stage up'.
Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku was among the early winners as the British Academy Film Awards kicked off at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.

After a star-studded red carpet, Hollywood's finest settled into the iconic venue to reveal who had received the coveted honours.
Mosaku, who is pregnant with her second child, thanked her husband, family and daughter from the stage, and said that her mother had 'beamed' her love at her 'to give me the freedom to make my choices.'
She said that playing priestess Annie in Sinners she had connected with a part of herself which she had 'dimmed as an immigrant trying to fit in.'
Ryan Coogler wrote the role of Hoodoo priestess Annie in Sinners especially for Mosaku, who was raised in Manchester and sang for 11 years in the Manchester Girls' Choir.
A Rada graduate, she was catapulted into the spotlight in the 2010 film I Am Slave, in which she played a Sudanese girl sold into slavery.

She won a TV BAFTA as Best Supporting Actress for her role as Damilola Taylor's mother Gloria in Damilola, Our Loved Boy, and has appeared in blockbusters Deadpool & Wolverine and Batman vs Superman.
The actress was born in Zaria, Nigeria to parents who are both professors, but she now lives in Los Angeles and is expecting her second child.
'It's just been the best feeling ever because we really loved this film,' said Mosaku, who has previously won a Bafta TV Award for her role as Gloria Taylor in the TV film Damilola, Our Loved Boy.

Of Sinners she said: 'We really poured everything we had into it, and so the audiences showing up and showing so much love for the film last year was so overwhelming and so affirming.
Earlier in the evening the trip took to the red carrot
'Now to have these nominations come in, it's just been the cherry on top.'
Wumni then broke down into tears in the Winners Press Conference room upon finding out Sinners' director and writer, Ryan Coogler, won the BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay.
She said: 'Ryan credits everyone who's ever poured into him. He doesn't have an ego. And he says, ''I couldn't have done it without you. You couldn't have done it without the audience. You couldn't have done it without the crew, catering, like everyone.''
'He lets everyone know on the set that they are so important and we can't do it without them. So yeah, that's what makes Ryan so special, because it's true we, none of we all are standing on the shoulders of giants, and even if you feel small, you're still a giant in someone's world.
