The nominations for the RTS Craft & Design Awards 2020, supported by Netflix, have been announced. 

The BBC leads the way with 46 nominations across its channels, with BBC One and HBO’s hit shows, His Dark Materials receiving four and I May Destroy You garnering three nominations respectively. Sky follows the BBC with 10 nominations with Gangs of London, Brassic and Catherine the Great all shortlisted.

The prestigious awards will be celebrated on Monday 23rd November on the RTS website with special guest appearances.

The RTS Craft & Design Awards celebrate excellence in broadcast television and aim to recognise the huge variety of skills and processes involved in programme production across 31 competitive categories ranging from Make Up Design: Drama to Director: Multicamera, alongside the RTS Special Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award which are both given at the discretion of the RTS.

Chair of the Awards, Anne Mensah, said: “The standard of television this year has been incredible and provided audiences with both comfort and escapism, as well as new and underrepresented perspectives, in what has been such a turbulent time for all of us. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the talented individuals and teams who continue to produce world class content, later this month.”

The Craft & Design Awards accept entries from both individual craftspeople and broadcasters, and the juries take into consideration production difference, budget and time scale involved. All entries have been transmitted between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020.
