The BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises has just announced this year’s winners, and it was a triumphant night for Sharon Horgan’s ‘Bad Sisters’, ‘Derry Girls’ and Channel 4 drama ‘I Am Ruth’.
UK TV’s night of nights – British telly’s answer to the Emmys – also delivered wins for Nicôle Lecky’s BBC musical drama ‘Mood’, which won Best Miniseries, and Netflix’s ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ which piped ‘The Bear’ and ‘The White Lotus’ in the Best International Series bracket.
There were wins in the lead actress and actor categories for Kate Winslet (‘I Am Ruth’) and Ben Whishaw (‘This is Going to Hurt’), and for Adeel Akhtar (‘Sherwood’) and Anne-Marie Duff (‘Bad Sisters’) in the supporting categories.
The awards also boast one gong voted for by the public – the ‘P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award’ – and this year’s the public picked Paddington’s meeting with the Queen at the Platinum Jubilee.
Head to the official BAFTA site to watch all the magical moments that went up for the public vote, including ‘Stranger Things’ Kate Bush-accompanied Vecna rescue and that hissable final betrayal in ‘The Traitors’. Hard stares for that one.
