Jeff Goldblum Honors Maggie Smith

Jeff Goldblum tinkled the ivories during a moving In Memoriam section at the BAFTA Film Awards.

The Wicked star, an accomplished jazz pianist with three albums to his name, played As Time Goes By in tribute to stars including David Lynch and Maggie Smith.

Blue Velvet director Lynch and Smith, star of Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, were left until last on the tribute reel.

Others honored in Goldblum’s performance included Donald Sutherland, James Earl Jones, Joan Plowright, Gena Rowlands, Kris Kristofferson, and Shelley Duvall.

The 2025 BAFTA Film Awards are taking place at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London. David Tennant is hosting for the second consecutive year. The rolling list of winners is here.
