Jude MacLaverty, Bafta Scotland director, said: “It is fantastic to be able to confirm that the British Academy Scotland Awards will be going ahead this year, allowing the brilliant work and talented people from the creative industries in Scotland to be recognised.
“I am confident that we’ll be able to deliver a great show and look forward to announcing more details in the coming weeks.”
Last month, Bafta announced the British Academy Television Awards will go ahead as a closed-studio show, broadcast as-live on BBC One, on July 31 with nominees accepting awards virtually.
It comes after Bafta’s first digital awards ceremony, the British Academy Games Awards, drew an audience of more than 900,000 viewers in March.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
