The BAFTA Cymru awards night was a rollercoaster of emotions! While some were celebrating their big wins, it was a tough night for Welsh dancer Amy Dowden. Just hours after her surprising exit from BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing was announced, she faced another setback at the awards. Amy was up for the Best Presenter award for her heart-wrenching documentary “Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me,” which chronicles her personal battle with cancer. Despite her powerful story, the award went to journalist Bethan Rhys Roberts for “Etholiad 2024.”
On a brighter note, “Lost Boys and Fairies” stole the show, bagging five awards, and celebrating their well-deserved recognition. Not to be left behind, “The Golden Cobra” grabbed two awards, marking a grand night for creative talent!
Here’s a quick rundown of some key winners:
– Best Actor: Sion Daniel Young for “Lost Boys and Fairies”
– Best Actress: Anna Maxwell Martin for “Until I Kill You”
– Breakthrough Cymru: The Golden Cobra team
– Best Director (Fiction): James Kent for “Lost Boys and Fairies”
– Best Television Drama: “Lost Boys and Fairies”
Despite the competitive spirit, it’s amazing to see such talent being recognised and celebrated. Here’s to more spectacular creativity and inspiring stories in the future! 🎉🏆🌟 #BAFTACymru #AwardsNight #AmyDowden #WelshTalent
