BAFTA has announced the winners of its 2022 Craft Awards, celebrating behind-the-scenes television talent of 2021.

We Are Lady Parts, the musical comedy about a Muslim female punk band, led the way, winning three prizes: creator and first-time nominee Nida Manzoor collected her first BAFTA for Writer: Comedy; PC Williams won Costume Design and Aisha Bywaters won for Scripted Casting.

Landscapers, the drama mini-series inspired by the story of a couple whose crime of killing her parents remained undiscovered for over a decade, also took home three prizes: Arthur Sharpe for Original Music; Erik Wilson for Photography & Lighting: Fiction; and Cristina Casali, Robert Wischhusen-Hayes, Fabrice Spelta for Production Design.

It’s A Sin, the 1980s set drama about five friends living in the shadow of AIDS, received two awards: Peter Hoar won Director: Fiction and Sarah Brewerton won Editing: Fiction.

Netflix’s The Witcher won in two categories; Make-Up & Hair and Special, Visual & Graphic Effects, while BAFTA Breakthrough alumni Kayleigh Llewellyn has gone on to win Writer: Drama for In My Skin, after her win at the 2020 BAFTA Cymru Awards.

The Emerging Talent: Fiction category was won by Adjani Salmon for his writing debut, Dreaming Whilst Black, commissioned by BBC Three based on his webseries, while Emerging Talent: Factual saw director Adam Brown win for Into the Storm: Surfing to Survive (Storyville).

Other first-time BAFTA winners included: Paul Dugdale, Director: Multi-Camera for Glastonbury Festival: Live at Worthy Farm; James Incledon, Photography Factual for Liverpool Narcos; and Danny Collins and Mark Hammill, Editing Factual for 9/11: Inside the Presidents War Room.

The award for Director: Factual was presented to James Newton for Grenfell: The Untold story.

The award for Entertainment Craft Team was presented to Nigel Catmur, Andy Deacon, Patrick Doherty, Kevin Duff, Simon Haw and Andrew Stokes for The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

The award for Sound: Factual was won by Stephen Griffiths, Andy Shelley, Nas Parkash, Dan Johnson, Tae Hak Kim and Claire Ellis for 1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything. The award for Sound: Fiction was awarded to Sound Team for A Very British Scandal. Titles & Graphic Identity was won by Tim Jones, James Cross, Fantasister Utamaro, Ron Chakraborty, Kenji Kawai and Factory Fifteen for Tokyo 2020.

The TV Craft Special Award was presented to Triple C by writer Jack Thorne. The gateway organisation that helps deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse creatives access the arts and media were recognised for their extraordinary work and dedication in improving access and accessibility, as well as connecting organisations, raising awareness around disability issues, and influencing decision makers within the television industry. In an acceptance speech, co-founder Cherylee Houston called on the Television industry to “elevate the voices of disabled creatives, develop careers and show the world the amazing talent that exists.”

She added; “We as a community have a wealth of exciting untold stories to bring to the screen. We need to see more deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in-front of and behind the camera.”
