C R O ES O Mae’n bleser gennym eich croesawu i’n lleoliad newydd, ICC Cymru, ar gyfer ein Seremoni Wobrwyo eleni sy’n dathlu ac yn anrhydeddu talent ragorol ffilm a theledu yng Nghymru. Nid yw adrodd straeon yn diffinio ein diwydiant yn unig; mae wedi’i blethu’n ddwfn i wead treftadaeth a thraddodiadau Cymru. Mae’n wefreiddiol gweld y dalent amrywiol a deinamig a enwebwyd heno, sy’n swyno gwylwyr lleol a byd-eang. Mae Cymru’n gyson yn arddangos ei dawn ar y llwyfan byd-eang, nid yn unig gyda’i harbenigedd adrodd straeon ond hefyd drwy osod ei hun yn ganolbwynt cystadleuol a chynaliadwy ar gyfer saernïo’r straeon hyn. Mae’r effaith hynod gadarnhaol y mae hyn wedi’i chael ar economi Cymru a chyflogaeth leol yn wirioneddol ryfeddol. Mae BAFTA Cymru yn parhau i fod yn ymroddedig i hyrwyddo’r byd creadigol yng Nghymru. Mae ein hamrywiaeth flynyddol o ddigwyddiadau a phrosiectau yn cynnig llwyfannau rhwydweithio amhrisiadwy, sy’n hanfodol ar gyfer meithrin ymdeimlad o gymuned. Edrychwn ymlaen at eich presenoldeb yn ein digwyddiadau sydd i ddod. Llongyfarchiadau gwresog i’r holl enwebeion ac enillwyr Gwobrau Arbennig heno, a diolch o galon i bawb sydd wedi gwireddu’r Gwobrau hyn. Sara Putt Cadeirydd BAFTA

W E LC O M E We’re delighted to welcome you to our new venue, the ICC Wales, for this year’s Awards, honouring excellence and celebrating creative talent across film and television in Wales. Storytelling is at the heart of what we do as an industry but it is also ingrained in Wales’ rich history and culture. As such, it’s hugely energising to see such a vibrant mix of creative talent and work nominated this evening, which resonated with local and international audiences. Wales continues to make its presence felt on the international stage, not just through our excellence in storytelling but by ensuring the country is a world-class, competitive and sustainable base to create those stories. The hugely positive impact this has had on the Welsh economy and local employment is truly remarkable. BAFTA Cymru is here to support Wales’ creative sector. Our annual programme of events and initiatives includes many networking opportunities, which are so vital in cultivating community. We hope to see you at the next one. Congratulations to all of tonight’s nominees and Special Award recipients, and thank you to everyone who makes these Awards possible. Sara Putt Chair of BAFTA

GWO B R S I Â N P H I L L I P S Yn ystod ei thaith 30 mlynedd yn y celfyddydau, mae Rakie Ayola wedi meithrin portffolio nodedig yn y theatr a’r sinema, gan ennill cydnabyddiaeth fawreddog gan gynnwys Gwobr Black British Theatre a BAFTA, gyda’r olaf am ei rôl yn y ddrama nodwedd, Anthony (2020).
Wrth dyfu i fyny yn Nhrelái, Caerdydd, daeth angerdd Ayola dros actio i’r amlwg yn gynnar. Aeth ar drywydd cyfleoedd i dynnu sylw at ei sgiliau perfformio cynhenid mewn theatrau ieuenctid lluosog. Arweiniodd yr ymdrech hon i astudio yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru, lle derbyniodd anrhydedd Cymrawd er Anrhydedd yn 2003. Dechreuodd ei hymgyrch deledu ym 1993, gan gronni rhestr gyfoethog o gredydau dros y blynyddoedd. Ymhlith ei gweithiau enwog mae No Offense (2017), Been So Long (2018), Shetland (2019), Grace (2021-2022), a The Pact (2021-2022). Mewn ysbryd cydweithredol, ^ Adam Smethurst, Shanty sefydlodd hi a’i gwr, Productions yn 2017, sydd ar hyn o bryd yn llywio sawl prosiect trwy wahanol gamau o’u gwireddu. Mae Ayola yn sefyll yn gadarn fel hyrwyddwr dros degwch, cynwysoldeb, ac uniondeb proffesiynol ar draws pob agwedd ar y sector adloniant. Gan gydbwyso ei bywyd proffesiynol gyda’i rôl fel mam i ddau o blant, mae’n ymwneud yn ddiffuant â The Actor’s Children’s Trust, yn gwasanaethu fel llysgennad i Parents & Carers in Performing Arts, ac mae’n noddwr i’r Childhood Tumor Trust. Portread | Portrait: Ejatu Shaw Delweddau | Images: BAFTA/Charlie Clift; BAFTA/Maxine Howells 47
Yn falch o’i threftadaeth ac yn arbennig lle Trelái yn ei chalon, dywed Ayola ei bod wrth ei bodd yn derbyn Gwobr Siân Phillips, sy’n cydnabod unigolyn Cymreig a wnaeth gyfraniad sylweddol i ffilm a/neu deledu: “Mae etifeddiaeth yn hanfodol bwysig i mi, felly mae’n anrhydedd enfawr i mi ymuno â’r rhestr o’r rhai sydd wedi cael eu cydnabod yn y gorffennol. Rwy’n gobeithio y gallaf ddefnyddio’r platfform anhygoel hwn i weithio gyda mwy ohonynt ac i annog, ysbrydoli a gweithio gyda’r rhai y gellir ychwanegu eu henwau yn y dyfodol.” Proud of her heritage and in particular Ely’s place in her heart, Ayola says she’s delighted to receive the Siân Phillips Award, which recognises a Welsh individual who’s made a significant contribution to film and/or television: “Legacy is vitally important to me, so I’m hugely honoured to join the list of those who’ve been recognised in the past. I hope I can use this incredible platform to work with more of them and to encourage, inspire and work with those whose names may be added in the future.” 48
S I Â N P H I L L I P S AWA R D In her 30-year career, Rakie Ayola has built up an impressive body of work on stage and screen, winning both a Black British Theatre Award and a BAFTA, the latter for feature-length drama Anthony (2020).
Ayola caught the acting bug early while growing up in Ely, Cardiff and began seeking out any opportunity to express her talent for performance at various youth theatres. She eventually attended the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, where she was made an Honorary Fellow in 2003. She made her television debut in 1993 and has earned many credits since then. Recent hits include No Offence (2017), Been So Long (2018), Shetland (2019), Grace (2021-2022) and The Pact (2021-2022). In 2017, she set up Shanty Productions with husband Adam Smethurst, which has several exciting projects at various stages of production. Ayola’s also a keen and courageous advocate for the need for fair representation, accessibility and treatment at all industry levels and among all crafts. And, as a mother of two, she’s a committed trustee of The Actor’s Children’s Trust, ambassador for Parents & Carers in Performing Arts and a Childhood Tumour Trust patron.

GWO B R A R B E N N I G A M GY F R A N I A D E I T H R I A D O L I D DA R L L E D U Ychydig yn y byd darlledu byd-eang sy’n gallu cystadlu â phrofiad Hywel Gwynfryn. Yn enw cyfarwydd ym myd teledu a radio Cymraeg, mae wedi bod yn bresenoldeb cyson yn y cyfryngau ers dros chwe degawd. Gwynfryn sy’n derbyn y Wobr Arbennig am Gyfraniad Eithriadol i Ddarlledu eleni.
Wedi’i eni yn Llangefni, Ynys Môn, ac yn byw yng Nghaerdydd ers 1960, mae wedi bod yn rhan o deledu’r BBC yng Nghymru ers 1964 – pan ymunodd â thîm Heddiw – ac wedi bod yn cyflwyno ar BBC Radio Cymru ers ei sefydlu yn 1977. Mae ei ddull tosturiol, ynghyd â chwestiynau treiddgar, wedi ennyn cyfweliadau cymhellol a dadlennol gyda degau o filoedd o bobl ac mae wedi adrodd ar sawl agwedd arwyddocaol ar fywyd Cymru a thu hwnt. Mae wedi arwain rhaglenni plant a rhaglenni dogfen poblogaidd Cymru hefyd, gan gynnwys ei gyfres deithiol gyffrous Ar dy Feic, ac mae hefyd wedi bod yn ^ ohebydd bythol bresennol o wyl flynyddol Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru. Fel awdur, mae wedi ysgrifennu sawl pantomeim a llyfr, gan gynnwys cofiant craff i’r actor Cymreig Hugh Griffith a enillodd Oscar.
Portread | Portrait: BAFTA/Francesca Jones Delweddau | Images: BBC Cymru Wales 51
Ynghylch derbyn y Wobr Arbennig hon, dywed Gwynfryn: “Am y 60 mlynedd diwethaf, mae pobl wedi rhannu straeon am bopeth dan haul gyda fi wrth i mi eistedd a gwrando. Rydw i wedi teithio’r byd ac wedi cael fy nhalu am gael amser bendigedig. Nawr rydw i’n derbyn BAFTA. Mae’n goron ar y cyfan.” About receiving this Special Award, Gwynfryn says: “For the last 60 years, people have talked to me about everything under the sun while I’ve sat and listened. I’ve travelled the world and been paid for having a wonderful time. Now I’m to be presented with a BAFTA. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

S P E C I A L AWA R D F O R O U T STA N D I N G C O N T R I B U T I O N TO B R OA D CA S T I N G There are few presenters working in world broadcasting as experienced as Hywel Gwynfryn. A beloved and hugely recognisable name in Welsh language television and radio, the recipient of this year’s Special Award for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting has been an omnipresent force on the airwaves for six decades.
Born in Llangefni, Anglesey, and a Cardiff resident since 1960, Gwynfryn has been a part of BBC television in the country since 1964 – when he joined the Heddiw (Today) team – and has been presenting on Welshlanguage radio station BBC Radio Cymru since its inception in 1977. His compassionate manner, coupled with incisive questions, has elicited compelling and illuminating interviews with tens of thousands of people and he’s reported on many significant aspects of Welsh life and beyond. He’s fronted popular Welsh children’s programming and documentaries, too, including his eventful travelogue series Ar dy Feic (On Your Bike), and he’s also been an ever-present reporter from the annual National Eisteddfod of Wales festival. As a writer, he’s penned several pantomimes and books, including an insightful biography of Oscar-winning Welsh actor Hugh Griffith.
