With this year’s BAFTA Film Awards having been and gone, all eyes are now on the BAFTA Television Awards in just two months’ time – and the nominees in the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award category have been announced.

The Memorable Moment Award is a big one, as it’s the only trophy decided by a public vote.

To give you an idea of the kind of huge moments that have been recognised in the category before, it’s previously gone to Paddington meeting the Queen for the Platinum Jubilee, Rose and Giovanni’s silent dance for Strictly Come Dancing, and Diversity’s routine on the theme of 2020 for Britain’s Got Talent. So you get the idea.

The six nominated moments this year are:

Sarah Snook as Shiv Roy, Jeremy Strong as Kendall Roy, and Kieran Culkin as Roman Roy in Succession.

Voting for this year’s contenders has now opened, and you can select your favourite at www.bafta.org/moment. Voting will close on Tuesday 9th April and the winner will then be announced at the ceremony on Sunday 12th May.

And that’s not all. You’ll also have the opportunity to enter a prize draw to win one of 100 pairs of ceremony tickets to the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises when you vote.

This year’s nominations were compiled by an independent jury of influential TV critics as well as TV personality, former Love Island contestant and P&O Cruises brand ambassador Amy Hart. The jury was chaired by BAFTA’s Television Committee Chair, Hilary Rosen.

Rosen said: “Convening lively debate on the best TV water-cooler moments of 2023 as part of the Memorable Moment jury was a real pleasure – I’m so pleased that the resulting nominations span a great range of budgets, broadcasters and streamers, and genres, demonstrating impact can be achieved in so many creative ways.

“We are so looking forward to seeing the conversations it sparks amongst viewers at home, and who they will award on the night.”
