The winners of the BAFTA Scotland Awards will be revealed on Sunday 17th November at a ceremony hosted by Edith Bowman and live streamed on BAFTA's YouTube channel.

Jude MacLaverty, Director of BAFTA Scotland, said: "Our nominations this year reflect the incredible output and creativity that is possible with support for, and investment in, the Scottish screen industries, and the individuals whose craft and stories resonated with audiences in Scotland and around the world this past year.

"From first-time nominees to much-loved screen talent, it is so encouraging to see such a diverse range of nominees celebrated today. Congratulations to all and we look forward to celebrating our nominees and winners at the BAFTA Scotland Awards on Sunday 17 November."

Baby Reindeer shot to the top of Netflix's Top 10 earlier this year, and has gone on to be a major awards contender, with the series recently scooping four Emmy Awards - for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Writing for Richard Gadd, Outstanding Lead Actor for Gadd and Outstanding Supporting Actress for Jessica Gunning.
