Dressed in a very Bond-appropriate sparkly red gown, the Australian actress jokingly told the Bafta audience: "Hold on to your martinis because the Broccolis have let me announce it here and now, this is a scoop, I'm proud to announce that the new James Bond will be me! Oh my god, yes!
"I don't want people going crazy because there will be a female James Bond, it's not going to change things that much."
She added: "Here's my pitch for the new Bond film - Bond goes to Australia and it can be called Die And G'day.
"And because of the gender pay gap I actually won't be 007, I'll be 004.5 "
The newly svelte comic had arrived at the awards ceremony in a tiered Giambattista Valli gown with layers of black tulle and blue sequins.
She joked about her recent weight loss with the audience, saying:Â "I might look a bit different from the last time you saw me here. That was me two years ago and since then I've done quite a transformation - I hope JK Rowling still approves.
"Everyone is asking me, why did you lose weight? Clearly it was to get the attention of Robert Pattinson," she joked.
She continued: "I didn't lose weight just to get a guy, I did it to get more acting roles,
"Now I can play the non-funny love interest in an Adam Sandler film."
Wilson also joked about the box office success of Pattinson's The Batman, saying it was "ironic" the film had been such a hit in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
She said: "One man and a bat started everything, decimating the film industry, two years later one man and a bat should be the one to save it."
