by

As a passionate admirer of cinematic excellence, I find myself in an exhilarating predicament – both Tom Hardy’s gripping crime drama, “MobLand,” and another captivating production, “Adolescence,” have been named as finalists for this year’s National Television Awards. The anticipation as we await the results of the 2025 shortlist is almost unbearable!

Following the unveiling of the longlist in May, public voting is now complete, and as a result, the finalists (or shortlist) for the awards are now officially set.

In the running for the New Drama category, along with “Adolescence” and “MobLand,” are Jilly Cooper’s “Rivals,” as well as the crime dramas “Ludwig” and “Code of Silence.” (Paraphrased)

In addition to their competition, Adolescence and MobLand are also found in the same Drama Performance category, as they share actors from both shows.

In the Netflix series “Adolescence,” Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham have been recognized for their exceptional performances. Owen Cooper has been nominated for his role as Jamie Miller, while Stephen Graham, who co-wrote the show with Jack Thorne, is also in contention for his portrayal of Jamie’s father Eddie Miller.

Additionally, Hardy has been nominated in the Drama Performance category for his portrayal of Harry Da Souza in the series, MobLand.

Also included in the category are Rose Ayling-Ellis, who played Alison Brooks in “Code of Silence”, and Brenda Blethyn, whose poignant performance was seen in her last case as DCI Vera Stanhope on “Vera”.

The event is set for the London O2 Arena, with live airing on ITV happening on Wednesday, 10th of September, starting at 8:00 PM.

In the TV presenter category, Ant and Dec, Alison Hammond, Claudia Winkleman, Stacey Solomon, and Gary Lineker have been nominated for an award.

As a dedicated soap opera enthusiast, I find myself in an exciting predicament! In the realm of the Serial Drama Performance category, I’m up against some formidable rivals. My fellow cast members Steve McFadden from EastEnders and Jacqueline Jossa are giving me a run for my money. From Emmerdale, Eden Taylor-Draper and Jack P Shepherd of Coronation Street’s Sue Devaney are also in the mix. It’s going to be quite the competition!

Under the guidance of director Guy Ritchie, and featuring Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Tom Hardy, the movie titled “MobLand” unfolds a tale about two warring criminal dynasties.

In the buzzing world of streaming shows, I’ve found myself immersed in “Adolescence,” where I step into the shoes of Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old kid grappling with the heavy burden of being falsely accused of a tragic murder at my own school.

The 2025 NTAs will be broadcast live on ITV on Wednesday, 10 September from 8pm.
