Sophie Ellis-Bextor Lights Up BAFTA Awards with 'Murder on the Dancefloor' Performance

The 2001 hit song's resurgence, fueled by its feature in the film 'Saltburn,' was a highlight of the star-studded ceremony.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed her 2001 hit 'Murder on the Dancefloor' at the BAFTA Film Awards 2024, accompanied by a group of dancers.
The song has seen a resurgence in popularity due to its feature in the BAFTA-nominated film 'Saltburn,' where it soundtracks a pivotal scene.
Ellis-Bextor's performance was part of a star-studded event hosted by David Tennant, with celebrities like David Beckham and Cate Blanchett presenting awards.
Despite 'Saltburn's' multiple nominations, including Outstanding British Film and Leading Actor for Barry Keoghan, it did not win any awards.
Ellis-Bextor's song 'Murder on the Dancefloor' reached Number Two in the U.K. charts, partly thanks to a viral trend on TikTok.
