The British Academy bent its own rules this year by giving 'Killing Eve' - which bowed in the U.S. first – 14 nominations.
Having already applied diversity requirements to its film awards, the British Academy is now set to deploy them to TV.
As per the film awards, entries into these categories must now meet at least two of the four BFI Diversity Standards, the British Film Institute's guidance policy for project funding that focuses on underrepresented groups across four areas: on-screen representation, themes and narratives; project leadership and creative practitioners; industry access and opportunities; and opportunities for diversity in audience development.
While BAFTA was then considered to have bent its own eligibility criteria, which said shows "must have had the worldwide premiere transmission in the U.K.," it has now scrapped the rule entirely, enabling programs to qualify as U.K. productions despite premiering elsewhere. However, such shows must air to U.K. audiences "within the calendar year," and be initiated and developed in the U.K., with a U.K. broadcaster having "primary editorial control.
