2023
The 2023 awards were held on 23 June 2023. The awards were protested by queer climate activists, who sought to draw attention to the awards' sponsorship deals with Shell plc and BP, alongside financial institutions known to finance fossil fuel projects, including HSBC, Santander Bank and Macquarie Capital. Several nominees withdrew after activists raised concerns with them, alongside the planned MC, Sue Perkins.
