The Crown leads nominees for the Bafta TV awards, while The Night Manager was resoundingly snubbed.
Bafta has asked nominees for this weekend’s television awards to keep their speeches focussed on anecdotes and interesting details, implying to stay away from politics.
Following Brexit and Donald Trump’s presidency, awards season was unsurprisingly dominated by politically motived speeches.
“With that in mind, we hope the winners on Sunday would be happy to share an insight or two into the making of their Bafta-winning programmes or performances.”
