“Kate Winslet Wins BAFTA TV Award for Leading Role in ‘I Am Ruth’ and Emotional Speech Leaves Audience Touched”

American actress Kate Winslet was clearly surprised when her name was called, as the ‘Titanic’ star immediately burst into tears. And also Mia Threapleton, the 22-year-old daughter of the world star, could not contain her emotions. When she wanted to congratulate her mother on the good news, she too started crying almost immediately. “Thank you very much”, it sounded further in the emotional speech of the actress. “This means a lot, because it means that small-scale British television can also have an impact.”

Winslet also praised Dominic Savage, the director of ‘I Am Ruth’. “This is all your merit. You handle these stories in such a delicate way. Something that is not only brave, but also important.” To conclude, the American also addressed her daughter. “If I could break this prize in half, I would give the other half to my daughter Mia Threapleton.”

In addition to Kate Winslet, Ben Whishaw also won prizes. He took home the top prize for his role in ‘This Is Going to Hurt’. The award for best drama series went to ‘Bad Sisters’, the remake of ‘Clan’. The series beat several BBC hits such as ‘The Responder’, ‘Sherwood’ and also ‘Somewhere Boy’. Anne-Marie Duff won in the category ‘best supporting actress’. Peter Anderson Studio, on the other hand, was the winner of best ‘Titles and Graphic Identity’.
