Bafta TV Awards 2022: It's A Sin leads nominations for TV's big night out
Channel 4 drama It’s A Sin is leading the nominations at the Bafta TV Awards taking place on Sunday evening after receiving seven in total.
The series, written and created by Russell T Davies, follows a group of gay men and their friends as they navigate the UK’s Aids crisis throughout the 1980s and early '90s.
Years and Years singer Olly Alexander is in the running for the best leading actor award for his role in the show.
He faces competition from David Thewlis for Landscapers, Hugh Quarshie for Stephen, Samuel Adewunmi for You Don’t Know Me, Sean Bean for Time and Stephen Graham for Help.
Graham is a double nominee, also recognised for BBC prison drama Time in the supporting actor category.
Elsewhere, Virgin Media's Must-See Moment Award looks set to go to Strictly Come Dancing for winner and first ever deaf contestant Rose Ayling-Ellis' dance with Giovanni Pernice.
The couple paused the music and danced in silence as a tribute to the deaf community.
The award, which is the only one voted for by the public, celebrates the diversity of British TV and the moments that got the nation talking, tweeting and laughing in 2021.
The awards, which will be hosted by comedian Richard Ayoade, will celebrate the best of British television and see celebrities including Nicola Coughlan, Jodie Comer and Ant and Dec walk the red carpet at the Royal Festival Hall on Southbank.
Brit award-winning singer George Ezra will kick things off with a performance of his new single Green Green Grass.
During the ceremony, awards will be presented by a variety of recognisable faces from British television and beyond, including Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood, Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Olympic champion Tom Daley and Heartstopper star Joe Locke.
Martin Freeman, Katie Piper, Lee Mack, Lorraine Kelly, Michelle Keegan, Ncuti Gatwa, Munya Chawawa, Ross Kemp, Yung Filly and Rochelle Humes will also present awards throughout the evening.
The awards will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on May 8 at 6pm.
