Glenda Jackson, for whom it was the first television role in 27 years, received the award for best actress. The Oscar-winning actress played an aging woman with dementia in Elizabeth is Missing. Jackson, who was last nominated for a BAFTA award in 1974, said she was “absolutely impressed,” the BBC writes.

This year’s award was given in a closed studio for coronavirus and the artists accepted the awards virtually. Moderator Richard Ayoade joked about the non-traditional conditions of this year’s event. “It is a pity that a pandemic had to occur in order to establish the most basic parameters of personal space,” he said in the introduction.
