In preparation for our remotely produced tribute to American television, how about a British tribute to remotely produced television? The 2020 BAFTA TV Awards took place on July 31, honoring the best and brightest not only in UK specific TV (although there are plenty, with plenty of delightfully British names) but also the international television, with lots of awards given to programs (sorry, “programs”) you’ve heard of and love.
Chernobyl had a lot of love, winning both Best Miniseries and Best Leading Actor for Jared Harris. Chip bag won a comedy award, but not for Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Instead, the honor went to her co-star Sian Clifford. Leaving Neverland was honored for the best documentary series and When they see us was honored for the best international series. In addition, Netflix The end of the fucking world won Best Drama Series, and Naomi Ackie won for his performance.
Check out the full list of BAFTA TV winners below. For more on the world of TV shows, here are our thoughts on the 2020 Emmy nominations.
