Ariana DeBose has reacted to the social media response to her performance at the BAFTAs and is having fun with fans on Instagram by commenting on memes based on her memorable performance. The West Side Story star originally deactivated her Twitter account after she was mocked for her musical display, which included a rap about the female nominees, but was seeing the funny side of it on Instagram – even sharing her own post poking fun at the lyrics.

It has been confirmed that filming will resume on the Rust movie. The film was delayed following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot and killed in an onset accident after the movie's lead Alec Baldwin discharged a gun that was used as a prop.
