BAFTA Scotland director Jude MacLaverty 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.”

Broadcaster Edith Bowman, who will be hosting the awards, said: “Year after year, I am blown away by the creativity and talent on show and I can’t wait to celebrate them all.”
