Mark Rylance received the On-screen Talent: Performance award for his portrayal of Henry VIII’s right-hand man Thomas Cromwell in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light at the RTS West of England Awards late last month.
The judges commended Rylance for “a standout, composed and stunning performance” in the BBC One drama, conveying “complex internal emotions while maintaining Cromwell’s stoic exterior”.
The television community of the West of England turned out in force to celebrate their work over the last year, a challenging one for the TV industry.
Guests included writer, presenter and campaigner Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (War on Plastic: The Fight Goes On), Sarah Beeny (Sarah Beeny’s New Life in the Country) and Megan McCubbin (Springwatch).
The RTS West of England Awards is the only annual celebration of the region’s creative community and this year the region has again welcomed the work from the RTS Devon and Cornwall centre.
