BAFTA TV Awards Winners: ‘I May Destroy You’ Triumphs; Paul Mescal Wins Best Actor; ‘The Crown’ Snubbed

The third day of Peabody Awards results are in and in a wonderful reminder to Emmy voters, today’s big winner was Michaela Coel’s “I May Destroy You.” The HBO limited series was the only entertainment category winner announced today along with “La Llorona,” an International Film Oscar shortlist film that somehow qualified for a Peabody (I guess…streaming?).

To say Garth Davis has experienced an interesting filmmaking career is an understatement. After breaking out in a big way with his Oscar-nominated feature, “Lion,” he experienced some issues finding release for his follow-up, “Mary Magdelene.” And then, after the film finally was released, the filmmaker surprisingly landed the coveted gig as director of “Tron 3.” But before he jumps over to Disney, he is set to tackle a sci-fi drama, “Foe,” which features a pretty stacked cast.

EXCLUSIVE: Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal and LaKeith Stanfield will star in Foe, an adaptation of the Iain Reid bestselling science fiction novel. Lion helmer Garth Davis will direct a script he wrote with the author and filming will get underway in January in Australia. Pic takes shape as a hot title in the upcoming Cannes Virtual Market, with FilmNation brokering international rights and CAA Media Finance and UTA’s Independent Film Group co-repping domestic rights.

Paul Mescal is breaking hearts around the world as he appears to be all loved up with Phoebe Bridgers. The pair partied the night away together after Paul scooped a BAFTA award over the weekend and it’s not the first time they’ve been spotted together.

Paul Mescal certainly deserved to let his hair down this week after he picked up the BAFTA Award for Best Actor. And the Maynooth native did just that with fellow Irish actor Nicola Coughlan and his girlfriend, Phoebe Bridgers.
