BAFTA Nominations: Biggest SHOCKER Ever!

BBG News

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has unveiled the complete lineup of nominees for both TV Awards and TV Craft Awards, in anticipation of the upcoming ceremony slated for next month.

For the very first time since its inception, Strictly Come Dancing didn’t receive a nomination, causing quite a surprise among viewers and fans alike.

The hit series Baby Reindeer garnered eight nominations, making it the frontrunner, having gained international acclaim since its launch the previous year.

Richard Gadd, the writer and lead actor in a series based on his real-life stalking ordeal, has been nominated for the Leading Actor category. Meanwhile, his fellow cast member Jessica Gunning is competing for the Supporting Actress award.

In the “Limited Drama” segment, the show “Baby Reindeer” will square off against “Mr. Bates vs The Post Office,” a dramatic series on ITV. This series is inspired by one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in British legal history, where numerous innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were falsely accused of theft, fraud, and accounting irregularities due to a faulty computer system.

In the nomination count, both Mr. Bates and The Post Office as well as the Disney series Rivals and Apple TV’s Slow Horses each received six nods.

Among the nominated shows for outstanding entertainment performances are Ant and Dec’s program, The Traitors, and Stacey Solomon’s show “Sort Your Life Out.

21 candidates from the performance categories are first-time nominees at this year’s BAFTA Television Awards, making up slightly more than half (just over 47%) of all the nominees.

Or:

More than half of the performers nominated in this year’s BAFTA Television Awards have never received a nomination before – a total of 21 candidates across these categories.

Or:

Nearly 50% of the nominees in the performance categories at this year’s BAFTA Television Awards are first-time nominees, with a total of 21 individuals making their debut on the list.

2024 was a remarkable year for television, as evidenced by the 134 exceptional programs nominated by BAFTA members, according to Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA.

Television’s ability to shape national discussions, delve into tales of public significance, and catalyze social transformation is unparalleled. It’s truly remarkable when you consider its impact across all genres.

This year’s nominees encompass a wide range of emotions, from the intensity of sports, the authenticity of stories, the depth of documentaries, the sensitivity of humor, and profound entertainment – they cover all facets of the human experience.

UK television is currently setting the bar high, and it’s an honor at BAFTA to present the exceptional work of our exceptionally gifted nominees at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards and BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises.
