America drama Killing Eve was the biggest winner at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) gala. The awards ceremony was held on Sunday at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
The hit show took home three trophies — for best drama series, best actress for Jodie Comer and best supporting actress for Fiona Shaw.
Killing Eve won its first award of the night when Shaw took home the best supporting actress award. It was her first BAFTA nomination and win. Shaw said that, since she had taken on the role: “People have started to suspect I am a spy.” Comer’s win in the leading actress category came at the expense of Killing Eve co-star Sandra Oh, who was also nominated, alongside Ruth Wilson for Mrs. Wilson and Keeley Hawes for Bodyguard.
Killing Eve and A Very English Scandal scored the most nominations with 14 and 12, respectively, across both the TV and TV Craft Awards. — IANS
