During the ceremony, which was hosted for a second consecutive year by Richard Ayoade, talented stars from shows including"I May Destroy You", "Normal People", and "Small Axe" have been celebrated for their accomplishments on screen.

In April, it was announced that" Friday Night Dinner" star Ritter had died at the age of 54 from a brain tumor.

That same month, Damian Lewis released a statement on social media announcing that his wife, the "Harry Potter" star McCrory, had died at the age of 52 after a private battle with cancer.
