'Sherlock' & 'True Detective' Win BAFTA Awards

Unlike many American awards shows, BAFTA breaks up its TV and film awards into two ceremonies; perhaps the Brits understand the value of a shorter ceremony. While the film awards took place in February, awarding Boyhood and The Theory of Everything among others, the TV awards were on Sunday night. British TV personality Graham Norton hosted the ceremony, which awarded some titles that will be familiar to Americans, as well as some more mysterious British entries.

Sherlock won the fan favorite award, while True Detective won in the international category. The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies won both best actor and best miniseries. The series, which aired on ITV, was based on the real story of Christopher Jefferies, a man suspected but acquitted of murder who was nonetheless vilified by the press and public for his strange ways. The series was praised for addressing topical subjects with sensitivity and for its acting. Another work based on a true story, the TV movie Marvellous, won for single drama and supporting actress. The biopic follows Neil Baldwin, a man who breaks many of the boundaries imposed on him by his learning disabilities. In a strange, and slightly awkward, turn of events, the event's host Graham Norton won an award; his show won in the best comedy entertainment program category. Here are the rest of the night's winners, which can also be found at The Hollywood Reporter .
