BAFTA TV Craft Awards: ‘Black Mirror,’ ‘The Last of Us,’ ‘Slow Horses’ Among Winners

Black Mirror, The Last of Us, and Slow Horses were among the winners of the BAFTA Television Craft Awards 2024, which were handed out in London on Sunday.

Silo, The Witcher, coverage of the coronation of King Charles III and the Eurovision Song Contest were also among the winners.

The craft award for best drama writer went to Charlie Brooker and Bisha K. Ali for Black Mirror episode “Demon 79.” Peter Hoar won the best director in fiction honor for his work on The Last of Us.

The ceremony, celebrating the best behind-the-scenes TV talent of 2023, was held at The Brewery in the British capital, an 18th-century brewery recast as an events venue.

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon and the BBC/AMC medical comedy-drama This Is Going to Hurt won the most honors at the 2023 BAFTA TV Craft Awards. 

There are more U.K. TV awards to be handed out soon. The BAFTA TV Awards will be held on Sunday, May 12 at London’s Royal Festival Hall (and also airing on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer). The Crown and Black Mirror led the nominations, which were unveiled in late March.
