Bafta 2021 Nomadland triumphs and imposes its eternal journey in the cinema
The
Bafta
awards
of British television lived its 67th edition this Sunday, with a blended gala in which the series
I May Destroy You
gave the surprise and most of the awards vindicated the diversity of the small screen in the
United Kingdom.
Although the winner of the night really has a name and surname:
Michaela Coel.
The British woman with Ghanaian roots was recognized as best actress and won the award for best miniseries for her work on the comedy-drama
I May Destroy You.
After having won the award for best drama script, best editing and best direction in the technical categories failed on May 24, his series snatched the award for Best Miniseries from
Small Ax,
which started as the favorite with a total of 15 nominations .
The
Steve McQueen-
directed anthology
,
which includes five films under his title, settled for the best supporting actor award, which went to
Malachi Kirby
for his role as activist
Darcus Howe
in
Mangrove.
In the female category, the award went to
Rakie Ayola
for
Anthony.
The young
Paul Mescal
was described as "incredibly nervous" when collecting the award for best actor for his role in the famed
Normal People,
which he dedicated to
Daisy Edgar-Jones,
whom he defined as "the best partner and one of the best people who know". "There is a rumor that men can not be funny," they pronounced when presenting the award for best comedy actor, which went to another young man:
Charlie Cooper,
for his performance in
This Country.
Slutty
Aimee
from
Sex Education,
Emmie
Lou Wood,
she showed off her spontaneity by receiving the golden mask for best comedy actress, which she wanted to break into "virtual pieces" to share with the rest of the nominees.
The British public was present virtually by appearing as a joint video call at specific moments, and was able to choose
Diversity's
performance
on
Britains Got Talent
as the
Must-see Moment
or "must
-see
" moment of the year.
Diversity, precisely, has been the undisputed protagonist of this edition;
since, by obligation, from this edition all the categories must represent the ethnic and sexual minorities of the country.

Something that was also highly reflected in the award winners, as many of them represented productions directed or starring groups considered minorities, but that for one night took the majority of the awards. Titles such as
Small Ax,
which deals with the racism suffered by the British black community between 1962 and 1989, received
recognition
from the same subject as
The school that tried to end racism,
or the one proclaimed as the best international series,
Welcome to Chechenya: The Gay Purge,
which deals with homophobia in that region of
Russia.
The singer and star of the famous
It's A Sin series
about HIV in
London
in the 80s and 90s,
Olly Alexander,
not only had the privilege of opening the gala with his interpretation of
Starstruck
abroad;
but he was also one of the award winners for "best comedy show" along with his series partner,
Lydia West.
