Emma Watson made a 'giant dig' at Edinburgh's JK Rowling during her Bafta speech on Sunday night.
The Harry Potter actress has made no secret in the past that she completely disagrees with the author's views on transgender rights.
Emma was praised on social media after she used her platform to reaffirm her views while presenting the award for Outstanding British Film at the star-studded ceremony broadcast on BBC One.

Birmingham Live reports how host Rebel Wilson introduced her to the stage, saying: "Here to present the next award is Emma Watson. She calls herself a feminist, but we all know she's a witch."
Emma strode up the podium and quickly quipped: "I'm here for ALL of the witched by the way." It comes after J.K Rowling has come under fire after posting a series of controversial tweets about the transgender community.
