The Sisters Uncut demonstrators - whose customised t-shirts referenced the entertainment industry's movement against harassment and gender inequality - linked arms and lined up along the carpet at the event at the Royal Albert Hall.
They then lay on the floor, where they chanted: "The DV Bill's a cover-up, Theresa May your time is up."
The group claims the Bill will criminalise survivors while distracting from funding cuts to domestic violence services nationwide.
They posted on Twitter: "We just crashed the #EEBAFTAs red carpet to say #TimesUpTheresa: your DV bill is a dangerous distraction from what we really need, funding for refuges and specialist domestic violence services.
