In my latest fashion adventure, I polished off my captivating ensemble by donning sleek black stilettos. To complete the chic look, I gathered my golden locks up high in a stylish ponytail.

In the process, Tom noted, “It’s truly an honor to be asked to perform at the distinguished BAFTA event, where I get to share the stage with many respected actors and creators.

baby reindeer, the hit Netflix series, garnered an impressive eight nominations recently. Since its launch last year, it has become successful worldwide.

Richard Gadd, the writer and lead actor in a series based on his personal stalking ordeal, has been nominated for the Lead Actor category, while his fellow cast member, Jessica Gunning, is a contender for the Supporting Actress award.

In the “Limited Drama” section, Baby Reindeer will compete against ITV’s drama titled Mr. Bates vs The Post Office. This drama 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 flawed IT system.

In the case of awards, both Mr. Bates and The Post Office, as well as the Disney series Rivals and Apple TV’s Slow Horses, each received a total of six nominations.

Here are the six leading actress nominees: Anna Maxwell Martin for “Until I Kill You,” Billie Piper for “Scoop,” Lola Petticrew for “Say Nothing,” Marisa Abela for “Industry,” Monica Dolan for “Mr Bates vs The Post Office,” and Sharon D Clarke for “Mr Loverman.
