BAFTA Scotland nominations 2022: Edinburgh actor Ncuti Gatwa leads list

The nominations for this year's BAFTA Scotland Awards have been revealed with many talents faces being selected.

This includes the likes of Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi to Outlander's Sam Heughan as well as his co-star, Caitríona Balfe.

As well as these stars, Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa, who is set to become the next Time Lord after Jodie Whittaker, is also up for a nomination.

The Rwandan-Scottish actor who was raised in Edinburgh and rose to fame in the Netflix series as Eric Effiong.

According to Scotland.org, Gatwa was born in Nyarugenge, Rwanda and was raised in Scotland - primarily in Edinburgh and Dunfermline.

He later graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, in Glasgow, with a BA in Acting in 2013 and has since become a much-loved household name having won two BAFTA Television Award nominations for Best Male Comedy Performance, one each in 2020 and 2021.

Speaking about the awards, host Edith Bowman said: “I can’t believe I get to host the wonderful BAFTA Scotland awards again, it’s a genuine honour. The list of nominees are not just impressive but inspiring, the wealth of creative talent and craft that exists in Scotland makes me so proud. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on 20 November.”

Jude MacLaverty, Director of BAFTA Scotland added: “The strength and breadth of this year’s nominations are testament to the dedicated, creative and extraordinarily talented people working in the Scottish screen industries.

"Yet, 2022 remains an uncertain and challenging time for the sector, and as an arts charity we understand the incredible financial pressures that organisations and individuals are currently facing.

"In showcasing and celebrating all the nominees at the ceremony next month, the BAFTA Scotland Awards will be an opportunity to reiterate the case for support and recognition of Scotland’s incredible creative community and its phenomenal output.”
