La lunga stagione dei premi televisivi prova a prendere le misure dell’emergenza Coronavirus in vista della cerimonia per la consegna dei BAFTA TV 2020, attesa in primavera e posticipata al 31 luglio. Ad aprire le danze arrivano oggi le nomination per le migliori produzioni televisive britanniche e internazionali. Le sorprese scarseggiano, e a stupire è piuttosto il margine che separa i dominatori assoluti dai restanti interpreti e serie candidati.
La miniserie Chernobyl, già protagonista agli Emmy e ai Golden Globe 2019, domina anche le nomination ai BAFTA TV 2020 con 14 candidature. A seguire The Crown con sette e Fleabag e Girl/Haji con sei. Cinque, invece, le nomination per His Dark Materials e The Virtues; quattro per Killing Eve, Sex Education e Top Boy.
Saltano all’occhio l’esclusione di Olivia Colman (The Crown), forse mai davvero a suo agio nei panni di Elisabetta II come invece lo è stata Claire Foy, e Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), mentre pare destinata a ripetersi la vittoria di Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), premiata già lo scorso anno per la sua eccellente interpretazione di Villanelle. L’unica contendente davvero in grado di darle del filo da torcere sembra essere Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack), già al suo fianco in Doctor Foster e nel 2019 protagonista di una splendida annata nei panni di Anne Lister.
La cerimonia dei BAFTA TV 2020 sarà condotta dal comico Richard Ayoade in uno studio televisivo chiuso e rispettando il distanziamento sociale, mentre i vincitori di ciascun premio saranno invitati ad accettare il riconoscimento e fare un breve discorso da remoto.
