'Bandersnatch' Among BAFTA Television 2019 Awards Nominations
‘Killing Eve’ leads this year’s nominations.
The BAFTA 2019 nominations have been announced, seeing BBC shows Killing Eve and A Very English Scandal taking 14 and 12 nominations respectively.
Charlie Brooker’s Netflix drama Bandersnatch has been nominated for Best Single Drama. The streaming platform has had a generally poor year in terms of BAFTA nominations, although the much-loved Queer Eye is being tipped for the public-voted Virgin Media’s Must-See Moment in which Tom completes his transformation. Other mentions go to Bandersnatch’s editing and visual effects.
Killing Eve is too nominated for the Must-See Moment — for Eve’s stabbing of Villanelle — as well as for its lead actors (Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh), supporting actors, writing, directing, design and editing. A Very English Scandal is nominated for Best Mini-Series, and highlights its supporting actors for nominations as well. Hugh Grant is nominated for Leading Actor after starring in A Very English Scandal, and Russell T. Davies is nominated for his writing of the series.
