Winslet was recognized for her portrayal of a
mother of a teenager consumed by social media in "I am Ruth", a
mini-series in which she starred alongside her real-life
daughter, Mia Threapleton.
"'I Am Ruth' was made... for families who feel that they are
held hostage by the perils of the online world, for parents who
wish they could still communicate with their teenagers but who
no longer can," Winslet said.
"And for young people who have become addicted to social media
and its darker sides: this does not need to be your life. To
people in power and to people who can make change: please,
criminalize harmful content. Please eradicate harmful content.
We don't want it. We want our children back."
Winslet also referenced Threapleton in her speech, saying: "If I
could break it in half, I would give the other half to my
daughter... we did this together kiddo."
Whishaw won for his portrayal of a doctor working in an
obstetrics ward at a London hospital in medical comedy-drama
"This is Going to Hurt", which is based on former doctor Adam
Kay's memoir.
Dublin-set "Bad Sisters" won the drama series categories as well
as a supporting actress prize for Anne-Marie Duff. Best
supporting actor went to Adeel Akhtar for crime drama
"Sherwood".
The final season of "Derry Girls" won scripted comedy while
Netflix series "Dahmer-Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" won
the international category.
BBC One's coverage of the "Party at the Palace" celebrations
marking Queen Elizabeth’s 70 years on the throne last June won
the live event section. A sketch showing the late monarch having
tea with Paddington Bear, voiced by Whishaw, won the memorable
moment award, voted for by the public.
