Before he fell, Malek gave a heartfelt acceptance speech in which he thanked his co-stars and girlfriend Lucy Boynton who plays Mercury's lifelong love interest Mary Austin in the film.

Queen also opened the evening with a rousing show that got the crowd on their feet. Adam Lambert joined the original Queen band members Brian May and Roger Taylor for a medley of 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' which had the entire auditorium singing along.
