Summary
- Strictly Come Dancing received no BAFTA TV nominations for the first time in eight years.
- The show's snub follows recent host and professional dancer departures.
- Adolescence leads BAFTA nominations with eleven nods across categories.
For the first time in eight years, Strictly Come Dancing has been notably absent from the BAFTA Television Award nominations. This significant snub follows recent cast changes and the departure of hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
An industry insider suggested that the show's recent troubles and the exits of key personalities have diminished its celebratory appeal. This marks a stark contrast to its previous success at the awards, including wins and nominations.
In parallel, the Netflix drama 'Adolescence' has emerged as a dominant force in the BAFTA nominations, securing eleven nods. This includes nominations in categories such as Limited Drama and Leading Actor, underscoring its critical acclaim.
The BAFTA Television Awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on May 10. 'Adolescence' has already garnered numerous accolades, including nine Primetime Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes.
The BBC leads overall nominations with 73, while Netflix has 28. Other programs vying for awards include 'The Celebrity Traitors' and 'Last One Laughing'.
