Best Film category chairwoman, Catrin Lewis Defis, felt Morrison's film about a secret affair in the Welsh heartland didn't deserve the award, but his was not the only film to receive criticism. Defis felt that none of the films nominated deserved the award so she was promptly sacked by Welsh Baftas chairman Emyr Daniel, who replaced the entire jury.

Solomon and Gaenor which received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, founds its way back on to the nom list despite Defis, who felt t lacked a strong story line.

After her dismissal in May, she told the Independent newspaper, "If this is the way Bafta Cymru chooses the winners of the awards, then are they really worth what they try to say they are? The jury decided four-to-one to withhold the prize. To then create another jury and go against our initial decision is totally undemocratic in my view, and I feel like we've been totally undermined."
