Scotland’s Bafta nominees appear on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony

Actor Peter Capaldi said he was “delighted” to attend the Scotland Baftas awards, where he will receive this year’s Outstanding Contribution to Film & Television award.

The Doctor Who star spoke on the red carpet as he arrived for the ceremony in Glasgow on Sunday night.

He said: “Scottish Baftas have a special taste.

“It’s exciting, and in itself a bit less than the other awards, so that’s cool.

“It’s great to be here.”

The Glasgow-born multi-talented actor was also nominated for best actor for his role in Benediction, a 2021 biographical drama about 20th-century war poet Siegfried Sassoon.

Other celebrities – including Succession star Brian Cox, Outlaner’s Sam Heughan, Downton Abbey’s Phillis Logan and Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa – also attended the event.

Speaking on the red carpet, Logan, who was nominated for this year’s best actress in television for her role in Guilt, said: “It is exciting to be here at this wonderful event.

“I couldn’t believe it when I was nominated.

“It’s lovely to see all these amazing talents come together.”

Other contenders to Sunday night’s event include Mark Bonnar, who will win best actor for his role in Operation Mincemeat, Izuka Hoyle for best actress for his role in Boiling Point and Isabelle Sieb for best director of fiction for Vigil.
