Next up, it's no surprise that Hannah Waddingham has become an icon in the entertainment industry. Every time she graces our screens, she manages to outdo herself in the most impressive ways. And this past weekend, the Ted Lasso star reached new heights at the Bafta TV Awards.
Hannah has rightfully earned the title of "legend" for her reaction to not winning an award during the ceremony. Although her musical show, Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas, was nominated for the best entertainment gong, it was ultimately Strictly Come Dancing that took home the prize. But instead of getting upset, Hannah chose to celebrate her loss in the best way possible.
As the camera briefly panned to her after the announcement, Hannah was caught grinning and raising her bracelet to her lips, which was actually a small flask. She took a swig and then raised her "bracelet flask" to the lens in a cheers. It was a moment that captured the hearts of Bafta viewers, who took to social media to praise Hannah for her amazing reaction.
User RyanWhite05 wrote, "Hannah Waddingham drinking out her bracelet. ICON." While Kryptonkara called her a "legend" for drinking out of her bracelet. And Mofoman360 declared, "Hannah Waddingham's reaction to losing to Strictly was just amazing."
It's safe to say that Hannah's reaction has sparked a new trend, as searches for "flask bracelets" are expected to soar after her iconic moment. And even though she didn't win in her category, Hannah did take home an award later in the evening for coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest, which she co-hosted in 2023.
But Hannah wasn't the only big winner of the night. Happy Valley and Top Boy also took home major prizes, with Sarah Lancashire winning best leading actress for her role in Happy Valley and Jasmine Jobson winning best supporting actress for her portrayal in Top Boy.
The ceremony, hosted by Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan, also saw Lorraine Kelly receive the Bafta special award for her 40 years in broadcasting. In her speech, she urged industry leaders to continue providing opportunities for "working-class kids" like herself.
Unfortunately, for the most-nominated series of the year, The Crown, and fellow Netflix hit Black Mirror, they did not take home any awards. But there were plenty of other deserving winners, such as Timothy Spall for his role in The Sixth Commandment and Strictly Come Dancing for best entertainment.
The Bafta TV Awards also recognized other talented individuals and productions, including Floella Benjamin for her outstanding contributions to the industry and Ellie Simmonds for her documentary Finding My Secret Family.
Overall, it was a night filled with celebration and recognition of the best in British television. Congratulations to all the winners and we can't wait to see what the future holds for these talented individuals and shows.
