Netflix’s Top Boy and police drama Happy Valley were big winners at the 2024 BAFTA TV Awards held Sunday in London’s Royal Festival Hall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ceremony was hosted by comedy duo Rob Beckett (Cinderella) and Romesh Ranganathan (Romantic Getaway) and aired on BBC One. The ceremony was available on BBC iPlayer later that evening. In addition to Beckett and Ranganathan, the evening’s presenters included Lashana Lynch (Matilda: The Musical), Jeff Goldblum (Marvel’s What If…?), and Baby Reindeer stars Richard Gadd (Tripped) and Jessica Gunning (The Outlaws).
Although The Crown and Black Mirror led with eight and seven total nominations, respectively, the Netflix series went empty-handed, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Instead, the crime drama Top Boy coveted Best Drama Series while the new comedy, Such Brave Girls, took home the award for Best Comedy Series. Happy Valley’s Sarah Lancashire (Julia) won Lead Actress while The Sixth Commandment’s Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner) spoiled Brian Cox’s (Succession) chance for Lead Actor. The sole win for the final season of HBO’s Succession went to Matthew Macfadyen (Pride & Prejudice) for Best Supporting Actor.
Elsewhere, Supporting Actress was won by Top Boy’s Jasmine Jobson, beating out both The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki (Widows) and Lesley Manville (Let Him Go) and Succession’s Harriet Walter (Killing Eve), via The Hollywood Reporter. Top comedy performances went to Mawaan Rizwan (Two Week to Live) for Juice and Gbemisola Ikumelo (Brain in Gear) for Black Ops. Of the 44 performance awards, 17 of them were first-time nominees.
