BAFTA TV Craft Awards

by Cookie N Screen 

Ahead of the BAFTA Television Awards, the Craft Awards nominations have been announced. The Craft Awards differs because it celebrates the unsung heroes behind the scenes of your favourite television shows (which I am pretty sure is a completely oxymoronic sentence). Anyway, instead of the actors and actresses who face your shows, these awards take you to the people working day and night to give you some of the greatest television shows that you enjoy entirely. From writing to costume, design to sound, the Craft Awards are amazing

Penny Dreadful

Leading the awards is Penny Dreadful which has five nominations in production, make-up and design whilst The Honourable Woman and Life & Death Row each have four nominations. Strictly Come Dancing, Peaky Blinders and Da Vinci’s Demons have free nominations making the battle between the dramas a heated one. Noted nominations include Murdered by My Boyfriend, That Day We Sang and Children of the Frontline.

The winners will be announced at British Academy Television Craft Awards on 26th April ahead of the House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards on Sunday 10th May. Nominations for the Television Awards will be announced at a live press conference on Wednesday 8th April.
