Rebel Wilson had shade in spades to give out this weekend at the BAFTAs - the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards ceremony - firing it all off in rapid succession one after the other.

First, she gave us a little bait and switch, describing all the "drama to horror to fantasy" that was provided to us this year by...Harry and Meghan's Oprah interview. A lot of people were focusing on that bit of shade, calling the interview a "fantasy," but we actually thought the shade she threw at famously transphobic author JK Rowling after that.

Talking about the weight loss journey that she's been on the past couple of years, Wilson pointed to a "before" picture of herself on the monitor:

"I might look a bit different from the last time you guys saw me here. That was me two years ago, and since then I've done quite a transformation - I hope JK Rowling still approves."

What Wilson was cheekily referring to is the Harry Potter author's continued tirading against the rights and identities of transgender women all over the world - she spoke out again this weekend after a gender reform bill that would make it easier for transgender individuals to legally change their gender in Scotland.

(She somehow believes that trans women being allowed to exist legally as women will allow men into women's only spaces - which is stupid on the face of it, because trans women aren't men. It's there in the word. They're women. Kinda wild that she can invent a bunch of mythical creatures but can't get that through her head.)

On the topic of her weight loss, Wilson also addressed the constant question of why she chose to lose weight - at first, she joked that it was to get the attention of The Batman's Robert Pattinson - then she "joked" that she lost the weight so she could get more acting roles. (While she's gone on record as saying that's not the reason, that she lost weight for her own reasons and she was perfectly comfortable when she was bigger, we all know that the weight loss will make casting directors consider her in a way they never have before.)

"Boy, I am now so excited I can play the non-funny love interest in an Adam Sandler movie," she said, earning a much bigger laugh from her audience.

Wilson is currently working on a new film that she actually stars in - it's called Senior Year, and it's about what happens when thirty seven year-old woman wakes up from a twenty-year-coma and returns to the high school where she was once a popular cheerleader. It comes out on Netflix next month, on May 13.
