The Fellowship, the highest accolade the Academy bestows, was presented to Kate Adie OBE. A truly groundbreaking news journalist, Adie is one of a very small number of women to have reported from hostile environments around the world.
Criminally overlooked was Line of Duty which was nominated four awards and didn't walk away with a single one. Also overlooked by the jury was Blue Planet II which lost out to Basquiat - Rage to Riches in Specialist Factual. But thank goodness for the public who got it right as they awarded the Virgin Must-See Moment award to Blue Planet II, the only award decided by the public.
