BAFTA TV Craft Awards Winners 2021

Small Axe and I May Destroy You win big at this year's British Academy Television Craft Awards.


This year's British Academy Television Craft Awards were hosted by Gbemisola Ikumelo, co-written by Ikumelo and Akemnji Ndifornyen and streamed live on BAFTA's Facebook and YouTube channels.


The awards celebrate the very best behind-the-scenes television talent of 2020 and guest presenters included Annie Wallace, Ellen Thomas, Nathaniel Martello-White, Tony Robinson, Max Harwood and Mawaan Rizwan.



Small Axe, the drama mini-series about the lives of West Indian immigrants in London in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s was successful in five categories; Make Up & Hair Design, Costume Design, Production Design, Photography & Lighting: Fiction and Scripted Casting.



Whilst Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You, the drama series featuring a woman who seeks to rebuild her life after a sexual assault, picked up three awards; Director: Fiction, Editing: Fiction and Writer: Drama.


The awards come ahead of the TV Awards on Sunday 6th June, which will return to a studio-based production and broadcast as-live on BBC One, hosted by Richard Ayoade.
