David Tennant Nominated For BAFTA Scotland Award At Tonight's Glasgow Ceremony


The winners of this year's BAFTA Scotland awards will be announced in a ceremony held this evening at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow.
The British Academy Scotland Awards are held annually to recognise, honour and reward individuals for outstanding achievement in Scotland.

David Tennant has been nominated for a BAFTA Scotland award for Best Film Actor for his role as Doug in the hit black comedy What We Did On Our Holiday.
The film itself is also up for a prize in the Best Feature Film category.

The awards are not televised but BAFTA Scotland have informed us that you will be able to follow all the action tonight through their live stream of the event. Click here to watch from 6.30pm.

What We Did On Our Holiday is a hilarious journey through an unforgettable family holiday as a couple attempts to keep their impending divorce secret from their extended family. Doug (David Tennant) and Abi (Rosamund Pike) and their three children travel to the Scottish Highlands for Doug’s father Gordie’s (Billy Connolly) birthday party, where it’s soon clear that when it comes to keeping their secret under wraps their children are their biggest liability. From nine year old Lottie’s notebook to keep track of the lies so she remembers which ones to tell, to four year old Jess’s perverse attachment to a brick named Norman, for their parents a week has never seemed such a long time. But it’s middle child Mickey and his granddad’s shared passion for Vikings which gives rise to the most far-reaching and unexpected consequences.
