Surely an award ceremony is not the place for politics? It would have been cut or edited for swearing either way.
An award ceremony is frequently the place for politics, none more so off the back of a show that covers those politics winning the award.
The point is the BBC should not be deciding what "politics" makes it to air. Her statement on the matter was completely neutral - she called out all sides, not one, and all respectfully too.
