'Woke' BAFTA judges are facing a furious backlash this morning after gang show Top Boy pipped Happy Valley to win this year's coveted Best Drama gong.
Happy Valley did walk away with two gongs, including Leading Actress for Sarah Lancashire, and the Memorable Moment Award - which was voted for by the British public -for Catherine Cawood and Tommy Lee Royce's final kitchen showdown. Happy Valley did take home two awards, including the Leading Actress prize for star Sarah Lancashire, after its third and final series hit screens last year'Happy Valley absolutely totally and utterly robbed. Be ashamed #BAFTA be very ashamed. Literally incandescent with rage here,' wrote one fan.
And in a further shock, The Crown star Elizabeth Debicki missed out on the Best Supporting Actress gong for her portrayal of the late Princess Diana. The seven-part fictionalised biopic about the life of Bernard Tapie, a flamboyantly ambitious businessman-slash-singer, managed to topple the heavy-hitters.
Succession's Brian Cox failed to win best leading actor for his formidable performance as Logan Row in the hit US drama, with Timothy Spall instead clinching the gong for his role on The Sixth Commandment. Sarah Lancashire scooped the Leading Actress Award for her iconic role as Sergeant Catherine Cawood in the BBC's Happy Valley - which follows the dramas of policing in Yorkshire - and broke down on stage accepting the award.
Accepting the BAFTA, he joked to viewers to look on IMDB for details of those involved in the show because he hadn't prepared a speech.'It's lovely to win. When you keep losing awards you think they're a load of b*****ks. But acting is a dodgy, shaky and insecure profession that we sometimes congratulate ourselves on. And this is a very old award and it's a privilege.'
Matthew Macfadyen won the Best Supporting Actor gong for his role in the hugely-popular series Succession. Collecting the gong, Strictly host Tess Daly said: 'We are properly and genuinely overwhelmed. Thank you Bafta for making it worth putting on Spanx on the hottest day of the year. We have been on for 20 years, so this is the best birthday present.'
