Killing Eve favoriet voor de BAFTA's

Met 14 nominaties is Killing Eve de koploper én favoriet voor de 'British Academy’s television and TV craft awards'. A Very English Scandal volgt op een tweede plaats met 12 nominaties. Opvallend is de grote afwezigheid van de streamingsites. Netflix scoorde amper 5 nominaties (waarvan 4 voor de craft awards), Amazon wist zelfs geen enkele nominatie te versieren.

In de categorie ‘beste drama’ neemt Killing Eve (dat bij ons recentelijk uitkwam op DVD) het op tegen Informer, Bodyguard en Save Me. In de categorie ‘beste actrice’ wordt het een strijd tussen Jodie Comer en Sandra Oh, allebei genomineerd voor Killing Eve. Bij de mannen wordt het wellicht een duel tussen Benedict Cumberbatch en Hugh Grant. Gezien het Hugh Grant’s eerste nominatie is voor een tv-rol, lijkt hij voor ons de favoriet. De publiekslieveling Bodyguard deed het niet slecht en scoorde vijf nominaties, net als The Little Drummer Girl, de John Le Carré-verfilming die te zien was op de Nederlandse televisie. Opvallend zijn ook de drie nominaties voor Sally4Ever, de comedyserie met een hoek af en het ontbreken van Richard Madden (Bodyguard) in de categorie ‘beste acteur’.

De BAFTA’s voor televisie worden uitgereikt op zondag 12 mei, de craft awards worden eerder uitgereikt, nl. op 28 april.
