‘Andor’ Lands Three BAFTA TV Award Nominations, Including Fiona Shaw as Best Supporting Actress
Earlier this week, the British Academy announced their full list of nominations for the BAFTA Television Awards, where Star Wars landed three nominations through its 2022 awards flagship series Andor. The Tony Gilroy-created series has been receiving accolades left and right from different awards bodies, and the British are the latest to mention it among its honorees.

Frances Parker also earned a nomination in the Best Editing category, for her work on episode 7, titled Announcement. Parker has already won an Emmy for editing Band of Brothers, as well as a BAFTA TV Award for editing Unnatural Pursuits. She will be up against Celia Haining (The Crown), Katie Weiland (Slow Horses), and Selina Macarthur (This Is Going to Hurt).
Finally, Mohen Leo, TJ Falls, Richard Van Den Bergh, and Jean-Clément Soret were all nominated for their work on Andor in the category of Special, Visual & Graphic Effects. They will be up against representatives from HBO’s House of the Dragon, Netflix’s The Sandman, and HBO’s His Dark Materials.
The BAFTA Television Craft Awards will take place on Sunday, April 23, while the BAFTA Television Awards will happen on Sunday, May 14, hosted by Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.
Andor season 2 is currently in production in Valencia, Spain.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
