BAFTA has announced the nominations for the 2022 BAFTA Scotland Awards, the biggest celebration of Scottish film, games and television talent.

The ceremony will be available to watch live on BAFTA’s YouTube channel, followed by a highlights programme on BBC Scotland later that evening.
The BAFTA Scotland Audience Award in partnership with Screen Scotland, also returns for 2022. The public and a jury comprised of the Scottish media have selected 6 individuals to compete for their favourite Scot On Screen.

Host Edith Bowman said; “I can’t believe I get to host the wonderful BAFTA Scotland awards again, it’s a genuine honour. The list of nominees are not just impressive but inspiring, the wealth of creative talent and craft that exists in Scotland makes me so proud. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on 20 November.”
Jude MacLaverty, Director of BAFTA Scotland said: “The strength and breadth of this year’s nominations are testament to the dedicated, creative and extraordinarily talented people working in the Scottish screen industries. Yet, 2022 remains an uncertain and challenging time for the sector, and as an arts charity we understand the incredible financial pressures that organisations and individuals are currently facing. In showcasing and celebrating all the nominees at the ceremony next month, the BAFTA Scotland Awards will be an opportunity to reiterate the case for support and recognition of Scotland’s incredible creative community and its phenomenal output.”
