Jude MacLaverty, Director of BAFTA Scotland, added: “Our nominations this year reflect the incredible output and creativity that is possible with support for, and investment in, the Scottish screen industries, and the individuals whose craft and stories resonated with audiences in Scotland and around the world this past year.
“From first-time nominees to much-loved screen talent, it is so encouraging to see such a diverse range of nominees celebrated today. Congratulations to all and we look forward to celebrating our nominees and winners at the BAFTA Scotland Awards on Sunday 17 November”.
The nominations were determined through a combination of membership voting and dedicated juries comprised of industry professionals with relevant craft expertise.

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.

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.
