It was a night of surprises at the BAFTA TV Awards, with “The Crown” and “Black Mirror” failing to pick up any awards while “Succession” walked away with only one for Matthew Macfadyen for best supporting actor.
Macfadyen did not attend the awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall, prompting Helena Bonham Carter, who presented the category, to walk off with the iconic gold BAFTA mask with the promise she would get it to Macfadyen.
The international category also saw upset, with frontrunners “Succession,” “Beef” and “The Bear” all failing to win the award. They were instead beaten by little-known French series “Class Act.” It was a fact acknowledged by the show’s shocked lead actor Laurent Lafitte, who, upon accepting the award, told the audience: “Please watch our show. It’s called ‘Class Act,’ it’s quite good — not just because I’m starring in it.”

Musical episodes of TV shows weren’t invented by Buffy the Vampire Slayer, nor by Xena: Warrior Princess either. But it was Xena that came up with a way of doing musical episodes that was incredibly effective, and Buffy that perfected it, producing a musical that has been a touchstone for TV ever since.
Some TV shows are designed to be a musical every week, of course, from Glee to Schmigadoon! to Flight of the Conchords. But there is also a fairly long-standing tradition of non-musical shows including musical episodes from time to time.
It might seem like having characters who do not normally sing randomly burst into song would be restricted to science fiction and fantasy, in which an invented reason can be provided for the singing, but plenty of non-sci fi and fantasy shows have done musicals either by making the whole thing take place inside someone’s...

Epic Games‘ payouts to creators haven’t been quite as plentiful as Roblox‘s, but the Fortnite publisher is nevertheless making millionaires out of map developers. At the Game Developers Conference (Gdc), Epic revealed that its community of creators has earned a collective $320 million over the past 12 months.
Those payouts have come through Unreal Editor for Fortnite, a monetization program for developers that launched last March. For context, the $320 million figure is about 40% as big as the $741 million Roblox paid to creators during the 2023 calendar year.
The Fortnite and Roblox developer communities are similar in the sense that the most popular games take in the lion’s share of earnings. On the roster of Unreal Editor partners, there are 40 creators who earned at least $1 million over 12 months. Pandvil (pictured above), who has built numerous minigames within Fortnite, topped the ranking with a take of $20 million.
Another familiar name in the top 40 is TypicalGamer.

“The Crown” could well bow out in style on home soil, with the final outing of the show leading the list of nominees for the 2024 BAFTA TV and TV Craft awards, announced Wednesday.
Netflix’s hit royal drama — which came to an end last year after six seasons — landed eight nominations in total, including for Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville and Salim Daw in the performance categories. However, it missed out for drama series (an award it has been nominated for three times previously).
Just behind “The Crown” and also a Netflix production, the apocalyptic “Black Mirror” episode “Demon 79” earned seven nominations, including limited drama and leading actress for Anjana Vasan.
Further down in a tight group of frontrunners, BBC dramas “Happy Valley” and “The Sixth Commandment and Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses” each have six nominations. Sarah Lancashire’s leading actress nomination for “Happy Valley” could see...

The Crown’s swansong season has dominated the BAFTA TV nominations, picking up eight in a record year for Netflix.
Although it missed out in the coveted Drama Series category, four of the Netflix royal smash’s actors were handed nods today including Dominic West, who played Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki, who was Princess Diana. Salim Daw and Lesley Manville are the other two nominated actors and actresses, while The Crown also received nominations in the likes of costume design, make up and sound.
Netflix achieved a record haul and was second only to the BBC with nominations, comfortably eclipsing stalwarts ITV and Channel 4 as Top Boy and Black Mirror were also rewarded.
Although not its most critically-rated season, Peter Morgan’s royal saga ended late last year with a bang and plenty controversy, and the noms come amid the ongoing Kate Middleton saga.

Hulu is bringing a classic character back to life with its new series, ‘The Artful Dodger’. Set for release this month, the show is a daring twist on the tale of the clever pickpocket from Charles Dickens’ beloved novel, ‘Oliver Twist.’ This time, we see an older Jack Dawkins, also known as the Artful Dodger, in a storyline that promises to merge his past with a new, upright life.
The adult Jack, portrayed by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, has traded the grimy streets of London for the fresh air of 1850s Australia, where he now practices as a surgeon. But his former life isn’t ready to let him go just yet. David Thewlis steps into the shoes of Fagin, bringing with him a tug back to Dodger’s life of crime.
