The 2020 BAFTA TV Awards went virtual on July 31! The ceremony, originally scheduled for May 17, was filmed in a closed and socially-distanced studio. Award recipients, meanwhile, accepted their prizes via prerecorded speeches or through Zoom calls.
2020 BAFTA TV Awards
Dating back to 1997, BAFTA has divided its film and TV awards shows into two separate nights. At the 2020 ceremony, hosted by Richard Ayaode, Idris Elba received the BAFTA Special Award for his TV work as well as his championing of industry diversity.
Series with worldwide followings—including The Crown, Chernobyl, Fleabag, Killing Eve, and The End of the F***ing World—and their stars were up for awards. Did Jodie Comer come away as winner of the BAFTA for Leading Actress? Did Josh O'Connor or Helena Bonham Carter take home Supporting role prizes for The Crown? Did miniseries Chernobyl dominate as it did at earlier awards shows?
