BAFTA TV Awards 2021 - Complete Winners List Revealed!

The 2021 BAFTA TV Awards just wrapped up!

The awards show recognizing the excellence in British television of 2020 was hosted by Richard Ayoade, and filmed at London’s Television Centre as a half-digital hybrid event that kept in line with COVID-19 protocols.

Back in October, BAFTA announced several changes in its rules and categories, including increasing the number of nominees from four to six, a new category called Best Daytime, an extended eligibility period due to the pandemic, and a new requirement for at least half of the nominees in each category to be members of a minority group. Transgender and non-binary individuals were also allowed to choose which gender category in which to be considered.

Small Axe and The Crown led in nominations ahead of the event.
