Ireland’s BAFTA TV nominations
The Irish entertainment scene is setting the stage ablaze with an extraordinary sweep of nominations at the upcoming BAFTA TV Awards. This year’s ceremony promises to be a celebration of exceptional Irish talent, with stars from across the Emerald Isle making their mark on the prestigious event.
Leading the charge is DERRY GIRLS alum Nicola Coughlan, who has scored her first BAFTA TV Awards nomination in the Female Performance In A Comedy category for her compelling role in the acclaimed Channel 4 series BIG MOOD. Her nomination is a testament to her growing versatility as an actress and her ability to captivate audiences with nuanced performances.
Belfast native Lola Petticrew is also making waves, securing a nomination in the Leading Actress category for their powerful portrayal of Dolours Price in the Troubles-set series SAY NOTHING. The show itself has further cemented Irish representation by being nominated in the International award category, showcasing the global appeal of Irish storytelling.
The Belfast-based cop show BLUE LIGHTS has added to the Irish triumph, earning a well-deserved nomination in the Drama Series category. Meanwhile, the beloved Graham Norton continues his remarkable run with another nomination in the Entertainment Performance category for THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW – marking an impressive 18th BAFTA nomination with eight previous wins.
Adding another layer of artistic brilliance, Siobhán McSweeney from DERRY GIRLS has stepped behind the camera with her directorial debut, SPUD, which has been nominated in the Short Form category. This achievement highlights the multifaceted talents of Irish performers who continue to push creative boundaries.
The success isn’t limited to television. The unstoppable Colin Farrell has been collecting awards left, right, and centre, while the music and film group Kneecap are dominating their respective fields. This nomination spree is more than just a moment – it’s a powerful statement about the extraordinary depth of Irish talent in the entertainment industry.
As the BAFTA TV Awards approach on Sunday, May 11th, the Irish flag is poised to fly high. These nominations are a celebration of storytelling, performance, and the unique creative spirit that continues to emerge from Ireland, proving once again that talent knows no boundaries.
