BAFTA has revealed the nominations for the Kids and Youth Awards, which are back for the first time in three years.
The BBC’s “Dodger” and “The Snail and the Whale” both lead with three nominations each, followed by “The Amazing World of Gumball”, “Jamie Johnson”, “JoJo & Gran Gran” and “Silverpoint”.
The ceremony will take place in London on November 27, where 14 categories will be awarded in recognition of crafts, performance and games. All awards are voted for by a BAFTA membership of baby industry professionals. The event will be hosted by television and radio presenter Lindsey Russell.
Faraz Othman, Chair of the BAFTA Children and Youth Committee, said: “It is truly a pleasure to bring the industry together and celebrate the creativity and craft behind its latest production, especially after the pandemic, where children’s programming has played a huge role in family support. Through the awards – along with the festival The new BAFTA for Children and Youth, and the return of our well-established programs to nurture the next generation of game designers, TV presenters and filmmakers – we continue to support key creators and emerging audiences. Proof that this vital area of the industry remains essential to BAFTA’s mission.”
