Television Craft Awards
Writing, make-up, editing, lighting, special effects... these are the crafts that TV is built upon. BAFTA's annual Television Craft Award honour the behind-the-scenes professionals in TV production. The Awards in 2012 will take place on 13 May at The Brewery in East London.

Eligibility and Judging procedures for the British Academy Television Craft Awards.

This year's British Academy Television Craft Awards will take place on Sunday 13 May 2012. The following information outlines the Awards’ entry and voting procedures:

ELIGIBILITY

Entries are invited for the British Academy Television Craft Awards from cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcasters and independent production companies. Individuals may also enter themselves.
All programmes in contention must have had their original transmission in the UK between March 1 2011 - February 15 2012.
VOTING PROCEDURE

The TV-voting constituency of the Academy casts its votes online, for all those programmes entered according to the aforementioned criteria.
Those programmes which have attracted the most votes from the Academy membership are then put up for further scrutiny by category juries specially selected by the Academy Television Committee.
Each jury, which consists of nine individuals (with a quorum of seven) aims to be balanced in age, sex, experience, ethnicity and in broadcasting allegiances, with a track record of achievement in the genre and with no direct association with a short-listed programme. It must also comprise a real level of expertise within the category. These juries decide upon the four nominations and the winner of the Awards.

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

I do too!

BUT!!

I will get really angry if Martin and Benedict don't get their awards. Very angry.

And I would have nominated Steve Thompson for TRF, not Moffat for ASiB. But anyway I'm happy for it.

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

They are good actors. Correction: Unbelievable amazing actors. They and the rest of the cast have those characters down to a T. And yes: I have seen other Sherlocks...

I think when you look at the two episodes, Scandal is the far more intricate of the two in all aspects; technically and story wise. Reichenbach just has a lot of puzzles in it; it is more written with the viewer in mind.

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

So on the back of a tweet by Loo Brealey, I had to go explore our nominations!

[url=http://www.bafta.org/television/awards/nominees-winner-2012,3256,BA.html]Nominations[/url] for Sherlock include:

Leading Actor: Benedict Cumberbatch

Supporting Actor: Andrew Scott & Martin Freeman (against each other?! NOOOOOO)

YouTube Audience Award: Sherlock. If we don't win this, it'll be YOUR FAULT *glares at all the UK based Sherlockians*

Subsequent tweets by Amanda Abbington and Loo Brealey did, however, point out that Sherlock is not listed in the Best Drama category. WHERE DO WE APPEAL?????

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

Arrgh,   a showdown in the Supporting Actor category.. congrats Martin and Andrew!

At least B.C. should be a slam-dunk for Best Actor I hope.

Crazy that Sherlock as a series is not nominated for Best Drama.

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

Yeah, that's completely bizarre!

How do we vote for the other one?

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

According to Loo on Twitter, Sherlock isn't eligible for Best Drama.

According to cumberbatchweb, there were rule changes and had it been nominated it would have to have been in the miniseries category.

So I am wondering A) why isn't it in the miniseries category? And B) MINISERIES???? Seriously? Do miniseries' run in seasons normally???

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

Edit: Argh! Now Moff says we WERE eligible but didn't make the final four. How not???
(Note the Moff seems to think we should be happy with the awards and nominations we got, and that's valid, but still....)

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

Here's the full list

http://static.bafta.org/files/tv-nominations-in-12-list-1425.pdf

I'm a bit disappointed that Sherlock didn't make into the final four (miniseries or drama, whatever it was), but I'm sure they'll get the audience award.
It's also a bit disapponting for me that Downton Abbey only has one nomination though it is for the great Maggie (I love her), that Spooks only has one as well (best drama series) on its last chance and... no Doctor Who? Wasn't it eligible this year?

I want Benedict to get his award this year, but take a look a it... John Simm is there too. That would be a hard competition, I think. And Martin, of course, is absolutely fantastic, but the big surprise for me and the great joy is seeing Andrew Scott nominated. I really wanted him there and now my heart is divided. Of course Martin is great but... this Moriarty was such a risky take on the character and Andrew played it so brilliantly that I really want him to win too.

Oh...

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

It seems that Sherlock wasn't eligible for Best drama, because now a series needs at least 5 episodes to be nominated in that category. But I still don't understand why Sherlock isn't nominated for best miniseries  . Oh well, I'm glad Benedict, Martin and Andrew are nominated : ).

Re: British Academy Television Craft Awards Nominations Announced

I don't know why it wasn't nominated as a mini-series either! I think it's a plot by Moriarty and his web!

Moriarty? Anderson's more likely I presume...
