Hello, I'm Sanjeev Kohli and I'm bringing you all the red carpet action here
at the BAFTA Scotland Awards 2022.
(upbeat music)
Well I'll be honest, I put on the full coat outfit. Full coat outfit and here's
Yong-chin Breslin here looking, just absolutely stupendous. You look amazing.
Thank you! Took me 5 minutes. Just did it in the taxi here.
Can I, can I get a name for your brand? Sexy Dalek?
Erm, I was thinking space mermaid?
- Space mermaid works for me as well.
Can we discuss this?
- Yeah.
What is it? Where's it from? I love it.
- It's a peacock.
And, and also can we discuss the bag! It's beautiful.
It's beautiful, you didn't even phone each other? It's lovely.
Is that as practical, or impractical as it looks?
- It's almost like wearing a wet suit. You have to like slide your way around the room
but it looks quite sleek when you do it.
Has it kind of turned you into Grace Jones a wee bit?
- Yes, let's say that.
Are you gonna punch me?
- Be careful, maybe.
I'm loving, like, tartan, Harris tweed, all that stuff. Love how that's being marketed now.
- I really wanted some, some gorgeous dreads to honour the heritage
cause we're not only Scottish
We're so many things to so many people.
- Absolutely.
Everything all at once, as they say.
- Everything... Everything. Have you seen that film? Everything Everywhere All At Once?
It is amazing, but you're almost like the embodiment of that.
- Oh, stop it!
You are a one-woman multiverse.
- Ohhhh my god.
Does that sound like a line?
The vision, the vision that is Ncuti Gatwa is here. Right, look at you. Oh my god look at you.
- Aww, thank you, thank you very much
Everytime, everytime. Listen, I have to do Doctor Who business
I'm sorry, I know it's your life now. Ok.
You've got a very strong look, you always do. You always upstage everyone in the room. (Ncuti laughs)
Have we settled on the Doctor's look yet? Is that still... Any clues? - Ohhhhhh
- No clues. Other than, pure... Ncuti?
- Ncuti. No! No not pure Ncuti, just pure amazingness.
Edith how are you? Listen, this is your night you are the beating heart of the Scottish BAFTA's.
- No I'm the glue. I'm the glue between all the pieces, that's what I am.
Well I'm getting high sniffing you. No that came out all wrong...
(rock music)
And what about you, what's caught your eye this year would you say?
- Oh man so much stuff. I mean, I've got to say being a Fifer...
that 'Karen Pirie' I was a big fan of. And I LOVE Lauren, so much.
I might have brought a bum bag tonight for a comedy gag on stage.
Lauren and, and Ncuti I mean. You know he's been so supportive of BAFTA Scotland over the years.
You know he won previously, I remember him being here with his mum and his auntie.
And he's back tonight and the fact that we get to have a moment to celebrate
the fact that he's the new Doctor is beautiful.
So we're celebrating 12 months of Scottish film and telly, but just generally, what have you been watching this year?
What's been filling your time?
- Well actually last night I watched 'Somewhere Boy' which was so... I know
there's Lewis, is here tonight. So, I'm watching that. 'Doctor Who' of course.
Emm, I'm trying to think what else I've been watching... - This is all just for research for tonight?
Not really!
I have to say, 'River City' they had their 20th anniversary, and that episode, I don't know if you saw it
- Did you go back? I didn't go back, however, I didn't have a chance.
But, eh, Shellsuit Bob drank a bottle of blue liquid and then went on this trip where he saw all these other characters.
Only in Scotland, could you have uh, some amazing storytelling like that. I loved that episode, it was fantastic.
I mean we're obviously here to discuss, I mean you're getting lifetime achievement award, now I...
- Am I old enough for that? Well you're not, you're not but it's one of these things
where you look at someone's CV and you kind of have to give them something because it's so bloody good.
I ain't getting one, but you're getting one. - No, no you'll be there.
Eventually. - The year after
But like... - In fact, if I wasn't going to be here it was probably going to be you.
Am I on the subs bench for Peter Capaldi? Happily! Happily.
(music plays)
Ohhh!
God you're gorgeous...
Hi. - Hi.
(quietly) hiii - Uh, hi.
(nervously laughs) Hi. Hi.
Everybody alright? Yeah?
(in unison) The Scottish BAFTA Award... goes to...
- I always say that my roots are here, I've never moved away. I've never tried to live in London or things.
I just love Glasgow. I love the city. I love the people and it's my home, so...
to have like awards at your home, and it is, you meet your friends but it's also just celebrating all this amazing talent
that we have in our country, and it's just lovely being here.
It does seem to be a particularly vintage year, doesn't it?
- There's so much, and it's so exciting when you hear like, you know
in my kind of, pre-awards gamble it's... there's a few facts and figures in there in terms of how much money
and stuff and you're like 'this is exciting'
And it's that whole thing that BAFTA does as well, the behind the scenes that people don't see
this is all the glitz and glamour of it, but all these new generations of people they're helping train up...
so that that can continue, that's what's exciting as well.
It says up there 'It's great to be here'.
Well of course it's bloody great to be here, it's my home.
(audience cheers)
- What a beautiful reception!
- It is always such an honour coming back to BAFTA Scotland.
The best night of the year.
Scotland, and Glasgow. Every little thing we do, we do it for you Glasgow.
I am so proud to be Scottish
and I am so proud to be a Scottish, Brown woman as well
We're no' doin too bad hen, ae?!
We in this room, we have no cause without these cinemas. We have no cause.
The stories that we choose to tell, and the issues that we choose to give voice to
they remain untold and unheard without independent cinemas.
I want to say thank you so much to everyone who's been nominated tonight
what an amazing celebration of Scottish film and TV.
Honestly, so much talent here so... (audience cheers)
Congratulations to all the nominees, all the winners.
I am extremely delighted to present the 2022 BAFTA Scotland Award for Outstanding Contribution to Film and Television
and this year, it goes to Peter Capaldi.
Outstanding Contribution to Film and TV, I don't know...
I think this is really an award for getting lucky.
For being lucky enough to be born in Scotland.
Into a family
of immigrants from Ireland and Italy. (audience cheers)
Lucky enough to meet so many people along the way who changed my life.
(applause)
I've been Edith Bowman, I'm pretty sure this has been BAFTA Scotland.
It's so great to be back in the room with you all
Please, please - can we do it again next year?
(audience cheers) Have a great night everybody, thank you. Bye.
