I Am Ruth, Bad Sisters, Derry Girls and The Traitors were the top winners at the 2023 BAFTA Television Awards on Sunday.
Kate Winslet won the BAFTA for leading actress for her role in I Am Ruth, which also won for best single drama. Bad Sisters took home the award for best drama series, as well as Anne-Marie Duff received the award for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Grace Williams in the series.
Siobhán McSweeney won the honor for best female performance in a comedy programme for Derry Girls. The show also received the award for best scripted comedy.
In addition, Ben Whishaw won the BAFTA for leading actor for his portrayal of Adam Kay in the autobiographical drama This is Going to Hurt, and Adeel Akhtar won the supporting actor award for his role in the crime drama Sherwood.
The entertainment performance award went to Claudia Winkleman for The Traitors, which also won best reality and constructed factual show.
Other BAFTA Award winners included Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story for best international series, and The Masked Singer for best entertainment programme.
The winner of every category is decided on by a jury, unlike the BAFTA film awards, which is something many suggest leads to greater diversity.
The 2023 BAFTA TV Awards, hosted by Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan, were held Sunday at Royal Festival’s Hall in London. The BAFTA TV Craft Awards were previously announced in April.
