BAFTA TV Awards 2023: All the nominees are in

Posted by Jenniffer Sheldon on Sunday, July 21, 2024

The BAFTAs return this May and after a year of exceptional entertainment, mind-blowing documentary and culture-shaping drama, we're all keen to see our favourite performances recognised at BAFTA 2023. 

With standout performances across gritty, emotive series and irreverent British comedies, the calibre this year is high. Several nominees are up for awards across multiple categories too. 

Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt, a bittersweet front-lines ode to the NHS and Liverpool police drama The Responder have each earned six nominations, including leading actor for Ben Whitshaw and Martin Freeman. 

Powerful performances from leading actress nominees Imelda Staunton of The Crown, Kate Winslet in I Am Ruth and Vicky McClure in ITV's Without Sin must have a mention too. Not to mention stellar comedy performances from newly BAFTA-nominated talent and international standouts from the likes of Jenna Ortega in Wednesday and Jennifer Coolidge in The White Lotus.

The BAFTA 2023 ceremony will be hosted by comedic duo Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and will air on Sunday 14 May at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
