Hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan, the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises took place at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, May 14.
Kate Winslet, Gary Oldman, Taron Egerton and a host of Irish stars including Cillian Murphy, Vogue Williams, Laura Whitmore, and Derry Girls star Siobhán McSweeney were in attendance.

Irish production Bad Sisters won big on the night, with both Sharon Horgan and Anne-Marie Duff taking home awards.
Speaking on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, Horgan told RTÉ Lifestyle that growing a sisterhood within the female-led ensemble was a lot of fun:
"It's really supportive, really fun and, you know, if you need to borrow a pair of shoes, you're sorted," jokes Horgan. "It's lovely. They're such a great bunch of girls, we got really lucky with that cast, and I kind of count my lucky stars every day that they made the whole filming process such a joy."
Although she says it's "nerve-wracking" to think that production on the second season will kick off in September, Horgan says she's excited to film in Ireland once again:
"It's beautiful to film there. The talent and the crews and all of that - it worked out so well the first time around, we just want to keep doing it."
Elsewhere on the night, UK actress Anne-Marie Duff - who was born to Irish parents - said that, although the IFTAs were the most important award show night for the Bad Sisters crew, she was delighted to be at the BAFTAs with her cast mates.
Reflecting on the impressive cast, the actress said that television seems to be able to offer meatier roles for actresses of all ages.
"I think that television seems to be really supporting writing for females and writing by females," she said. "Also, I think they've accepted the demographics and who is watching the shows, they've kind of yielded to the truth of it, and that's great, isn't it?
"In our show, what was great was every character was swollen and of herself, nobody was there just to support anyone, and that was fantastic."
Later in the night, when accepting her award for best supporting actress for her role as Grace, a woman married to an abusive and controlling husband, Duff said that television is a "political and important arena" that reaches a wide audience.
"If someone is in their life who is bullying them who is telling them that who they are is wrong, that what they are isn't enough, who is told that their voice shouldn't be heard, I am telling you now you are everything and please stand up and scream at the top of your lungs."
