Sister’s Netflix drama series Eric led the way at last night's RTS Craft and Design Awards, with wins in the Effects – SFX, Photography – Scripted, and Picture Enhancement categories.
Judges said the 1980s-set six-parter's "overall aesthetic was as close to art as you can get".
The streamer picked up seven awards at last night’s ceremony, including the Production Management award, which went to the team behind Studio Lambert and The Garden’s Squid Game: The Challenge.
Judges hailed the producers for pulling off a complex production that included casting and managing 456 contestants and more than 750 production staff and crew on set each day, coupled with some challenging safety and duty of care risks.
The RTS bestowed a joint award to the TV Collective, the Film and TV Charity and TV Mindset for their efforts in helping freelancers.
The trio received the Special Award in recognition of their support for “the very hard-pressed freelance sector” over the past year, in areas such as physical and mental health, financial wellbeing and networking.
According to Bectu figures, more than half of the UK’s film and TV workforce are currently out of work.
A new category this year was Multicamera Work – Sport, won by Sean Randle for Sky Sports/EMG’s coverage of the World Darts Championship.
Judges praised his “excellent timing, attention to detail and shot calling” and compared the “excitement and atmosphere” coverage to a shiny floor entertainment show.
Paddy Wivell picked up the Director – Non-Scripted award for Expectation’s BBC2 doc Hell Jumper, with Molly Manners recognized in the Scripted category for Drama Republic’s Netflix drama One Day.
Writer/director Peter Kosminsky, whose career has spanned ITV’s 1987 documentary Falklands War – The Untold Story to both series of BBC drama Wolf Hall, received an Outstanding Contribution Award.
