A host of Tayside and Fife stars are nominated at this year’s Bafta Scotland awards – including Ncuti Gatwa and Brian Cox.
The new Doctor Who is up against fellow Fifer Dougray Scott in the best television actor category.
The pair are recognised for their respective performances in Netflix comedy-drama Sex Education and BritBox police thriller Crime.
Succession star Cox, from Dundee, features alongside former Dunfermline High School pupil Gatwa in the list of names up for the Bafta Scotland Audience Award, which sees viewers vote for their favourite Scot on screen in 2022.
St Andrews-born presenter Hazel Irvine is also in the mix for the fans’ award after fronting the BBC’s coverage of the Tokyo Olympics last summer.
Guilt – written and created by Dundonian Neil Forsyth – is nominated for three awards, including best TV actress (Phyllis Logan), best scripted show and best writer in film and television.
Meanwhile, Perthshire’s Alan Cumming is hoping to get the nod in the features category with Miriam and Alan: Lost in Scotland.
The Channel 4 series saw the Aberfeldy-born Hollywood star and pal Miriam Margolyes return to their Scottish roots and take their motorhome on the road.
‘Wealth of creative talent’
The winners will be announced at the event – hosted by Edith Bowman – in Glasgow on Sunday November 20.
Anstruther presenter Edith 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.”
Bafta Scotland director Jude MacLaverty 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.”
