Kate Winslet, Sharon Horgan and Ben Whishaw were among those who scooped the top prizes at the BAFTA TV awards on Sunday evening.
The ceremony, which took place at the Royal Festival Hall in London, was hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.
Winslet won the prize for best leading actress for her turn in “I Am Ruth,” which also starred her real-life daughter Mia Threapleton. The duo also took to the stage to accept the award for best single drama, with Threapleton tearing up. “We did this together kiddo,” Winslet said as she accepted the leading actress award, adding: “There were days when it was agony for [Threapleton] to dig as deeply as she did and it took my breath away.”
Horgan, meanwhile, thanked her writers as she accepted the award for best drama on behalf of Apple TV+ series “Bad Sisters,” which also saw Anne-Marie Duff take home...

Yesterday the finalist list for short films was announced. This is, of course, much bigger news for the filmmakers in question than the general public who rarely gets the chance to see their work, but it's very much worth noting. In order to qualify to begin with a film must pass numerous gauntlets and be an awards magnet. Who knows. We could all be obsessed with one or three of these filmmakers in 5 to 10 years time if their careers bloom.
The Ten Finalists
Je Pourrais Être Votre Grand-Mère (I Could Be Your Grandmother) (19 min)
Trailer • France • Directed and produced by Bernard Tanguy
Official Synopsis: "A young business lawyer finds that the old Rumanian homeless person, in front of his flat, looks like his grandmother. One night, he makes her a cardboard card: I could be your grandmother. The passers-by become suddenly very generous. Other homeless people ask him a cardboard card.

Today the Academy announced the ten films that will advance in the voting process for the 2012 Oscars for Live Action Short out of the 107 films that qualified in the category. Of the ten I was unable to find anything on only one of them as I have trailers for eight of the others and an image for one more. Of the bunch Love at First Sight and Sailcloth are sure to gain attention as both star John Hurt and The Shore features Hurt's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy co-star, Ciaran Hinds, Hotel Rwanda helmer Terry George directing. I didn't watch the trailers before posting, but the plot for Time Freak sounds a little fun as a neurotic inventor creates a time machine only to get lost trying to make yesterday perfect. Last year I didn't watch the animated or live-action shorts, but this year I hope to do that and include...
