MESSAGE FROM BAFTA CYMRU CHAIR

Croeso i Neuadd Dewi Sant i noson Gwobrau’r Academi Brydeinig yng Nghymru, noson i ddathlu a chlodfori’r gwaith aruthrol o wych ym maes teledu gemau a ffilm gan unigolion a chwmnïau talentog yma yng Nghymru.

Welcome to St David's Hall and the British Academy Awards night in Wales, an evening to celebrate the tremendous work of film, games, television individuals and talented companies here in Wales.

Efallai mai noson y Gwobrau yw’r uchafbwynt, ond mae’r tîm yn BAFTA Cymru, a arweinir gan Hannah Raybould, wedi trefnu degau o nosweithiau difyr drwy gydol y flwyddyn. Diolch i Hannah a’i thîm am eu holl waith caled yn ystod blwyddyn arall gyffrous.

The Awards night may be the highlight, but the BAFTA Cymru team, led by Hannah Raybould, has organised many entertaining evenings throughout the year. Thanks to Hannah and her team for all their work during another incredible year.

Ymhlith uchafbwyntiau eleni cynhaliwyd noson wych i ddathlu cyfres newydd o Sherlock ac roedd y tocynnau i noson Gareth Edwards cyfarwyddwr Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ar ddydd G yl Dewi yn Llundain fel aur! Braf hefyd oedd croesawu Bill Nighy i’r carped coch i dddangosiad Their Finest. Diolch i’r noddwyr oll am eu cymorth amhrisiadwy. Diolch hefyd i BBC Cymru Wales, S4C, Channel 4, Llywodraeth Cymru ac ITV Cymru Wales am eu cefnogaeth gyson. Hoffwn ddiolch i Jane Lush, Cadeirydd BAFTA UK, Amanda Berry, Prif Weithredwr yr Academi, a Kevin Price, y Prif Swyddog Gweithredu, am eu cefnogaeth arbennig hwythau. Yn olaf, diolch hefyd i’n cyflwynydd, Huw Stephens, ac, fel bob amser, mae ein rhestr enwebeion yn cynrychioli’r gorau oll yng Nghymru. Yn bersonol, ac ar ran BAFTA Cymru, hoffwn eu llongyfarch i gyd yn wresog a dymuno pob llwyddiant iddynt.

Angharad Mair Cadeirydd BAFTA Cymru

Highlights of this year have included a great evening to celebrate the new series of Sherlock and the tickets to the evening of Gareth Edwards, director of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story on St David's Day in London were like gold! It was also lovely to welcome Bill Nighy to the Cardiff red carpet for the premiere of Their Finest. Thank you to all our sponsors for their invaluable help. A huge thanks also to BBC Cymru Wales, S4C, Channel 4, Welsh Government and ITV Wales for their core funder support. I would like to thank Jane Lush, Chair of BAFTA, Amanda Berry, Chief Executive, and Kevin Price, Chief Operating Officer, for their special support. Finally, thanks also to our presenter, Huw Stephens, and, as always, to our list of nominees who represent the best of production in Wales for the year to March 31. Personally, and on behalf of BAFTA Cymru, I would like to congratulate them all and wish them every success.

Founder & Owner

TA I T T I N G E R T I M E The House of Taittinger is headed up by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger, along with his daughter Vitalie, and son Clovis. Taittinger is the only Grande Marque (famous Champagne House) owned and run by its eponymous family.

With 288 hectares of their own vineyards, Taittinger is the second largest grower in the region and is passionate about nature and taking care of the environment. Being ‘Green’ is in their everyday DNA, working with Mother Nature to produce the best Chardonnay (for ﬂoral elegance), Pinot Noir (for regal richness) and E Pinot Meunier (for fruity roundness). R U Pick too early, and the wines AT N would be lean; pick too late, and they R would lack structure and durability. O

TIME FOR

Some 18 metres underground the UNESCO 4 th Century Roman cellars form Taittinger’s AGEING heart. Here, their crème de la crème cuvée – Comtes de Champagne ‘Blanc de Blancs’ (100% Chardonnay) – is left to gently mature and is only released after a minimum of 8 years.

CE LE BR AT

The blending of Taittinger Brut Reserve’s three grape varieties, from a range of vintages, is an art. The elegant balance of the Chardonnay rich Taittinger style is vital.

NODDWR ALLWEDDOL Y DIGWYDDIAD: GORILLA

KEY EVENT SPONSOR: GORILLA

Mae seremoni Gwobrau’r Academi Brydeinig yng Nghymru yn rhoi cyfle i ddathlu a dangos popeth sy’n wych am ddiwydiant ffilm a theledu Cymru.

The British Academy Cymru Awards ceremony provides an opportunity to celebrate and showcase all that is great about Wales’ film and television industry.

Rydym ni ar drothwy rhai newidiadau mawr yma, yn sgil dyfodiad cwmnïau a stiwdios cynhyrchu newydd mawr, adleoli ein darlledwyr a’r cynnydd mewn arian ar gyfer cynyrchiadau a ‘Wnaed yng Nghymru’.

We are on the cusp of some big changes here, with the arrival of major new production companies and studios, the relocation of our broadcasters and the increase in funding in ‘Made in Wales’ productions.

Gallai’r newidiadau hyn weddnewid sector diwydiannau creadigol Cymru er gwell. Fodd bynnag, rydym ni i gyd yn gyfrifol am sicrhau bod yr amodau’n iawn – i ddarparu’r sgiliau a’r gwasanaethau sy’n angenrheidiol er mwyn cadw gwaith yng Nghymru, i ddatblygu sylfaen sgiliau gynaliadwy ac i sicrhau gwaddol parhaus cadarnhaol.

These changes have the potential to transform the Welsh creative industries sector for the good. However, we have a shared responsibility to ensure the conditions are right – to provide the skills and services needed to retain work in Wales, to grow a sustainable skills base and to secure a positive lasting legacy.

Mae angen mwy o fuddsoddi yn gyffredinol. Mae angen i ni fuddsoddi mewn doniau trwy ddarparu cyfleoedd hyfforddi a datblygu o’r radd flaenaf er mwyn cynnig y dewis creadigol sydd ei angen ar gynhyrchwyr. Mae angen i ni fuddsoddi mewn cyfleusterau, a sicrhau gwaith parhaus er mwyn darparu swyddi cynaliadwy ar draws y sector. Mae angen i ni hefyd sicrhau ein bod yn buddsoddi mewn hyrwyddo Cymru i ddiwydiannau yn y Deyrnas Unedig ac yn fyd-eang. Mae gennym ni gymaint i’w gynnig yma, ac mae angen i ni ddechrau gweiddi amdano. Nawr yw’r amser i wneud hynny. Gall safon y gwaith sydd i’w weld yma heno ond godi ein proffil yn y diwydiant ac amlygu buddion gweithio yng Nghymru. Mae Gorilla’n falch iawn o noddi Gwobrau’r Academi Brydeinig yng Nghymru unwaith eto. Dymunwn bob lwc i’r holl enwebeion a gobeithiwn y bydd pawb sy’n bresennol yn cael amser gwych.

Rich Moss Rheolwr Gyfarwyddwr, Gorilla

Increased investment is required across the board. We need to invest in talent by providing top quality training and development opportunities in order to offer producers the creative choice they require. We need to invest in facilities, and secure ongoing work to provide sustainable jobs across the sector. We also need to ensure that we invest in promoting Wales to the UK and global industries. We have so much to offer here, we need to start shouting about it. Now is the time to do so. The calibre of work on show here this evening can only serve to raise our industry profile and highlight the benefits of working in Wales. Gorilla is very proud to once again sponsor the British Academy Cymru Awards. We wish all the nominees the very best of luck and hope everyone attending has a wonderful time.

Rich Moss Managing Director, Gorilla

Suffragette ©Pathe

Shame

Ganwyd Abi Morgan yng Nghaerdydd ac er ei bod hi eisiau actio i ddechrau, penderfynodd ganolbwyntio ar fod yn awdur trwy astudio drama a llenyddiaeth ym Mhrifysgol Caerwysg.Yna, dilynodd gwrs ysgrifennu ôl-raddedig yn yr Ysgol Lleferydd a Drama Ganolog.

Abi Morgan was born in Cardiff and, after initial ambitions to become an actress, she decided to become a writer while reading drama and literature at Exeter University. She then took a postgraduate writing course at the Central School of Speech and Drama.

Cafodd Abi ei chydnabyddiaeth ysgrifennu gyntaf ar y teledu ym 1998 ar gyfres ddrama ITV Peak Practice, ac yna gyda’r ddrama deledu My Fragile Heart (2000) a’r ddrama Murder ar BBC2 yn 2002, gyda Julie Walters yn chwarae’r brif ran.

Abi gained her first television writing credit in 1998 on the continuing ITV drama series Peak Practice, following that with a television play My Fragile Heart (2000) and a BBC2 drama Murder in 2002, starring Julie Walters.

Fe’i comisiynwyd i ysgrifennu’r ddrama unigol Sex Traffic ar gyfer Channel 4 yn 2004, yngl n â merch yn ei harddegau a fasnachwyd o’r Balcanau i Brydain. Enillodd y ddrama hon, a gyfarwyddwyd gan David Yates, wobr BAFTA 2005 am y Gyfres Ddrama Orau. Mae hi wedi ysgrifennu nifer o ddramâu unigol ar gyfer y teledu ers hynny, gan gynnwys Tsunami: The Aftermath (2006), White Girl, yn rhan o dymor Gwyn y BBC (2008) a Royal Wedding (2010), syn dilyn Priodas Frenhinol 1981 o safbwynt digwyddiadau a gynhaliwyd mewn pentref glofaol bach yng Nghymru.

She was then commissioned to write the single drama Sex Traffic for Channel 4 in 2004, about a teenage girl trafficked from the Balkans to Britain. This drama, directed by David Yates, won the 2005 BAFTA award for Best Drama Serial. She has since written a number of single dramas for television including Tsunami: The Aftermath (2006), won a BAFTA for White Girl, part of White (2008). Royal Wedding (2010) followed the 1981 Royal Wedding through the perspective of events held in a small Welsh mining village.

Mae ei gwaith teledu hefyd yn cynnwys ysgrifennu Birdsong, sef addasiad o nofel Sebastian Faulks o’r un teitl mewn dwy ran ar gyfer y teledu.

Her television work also includes Birdsong, a two-part television adaptation of Sebastian Faulks's novel of the same name.

Fe enillodd The Hour, a oedd wedi’i gosod mewn ystafell newyddion yn y BBC yn ystod Argyfwng Suez ym 1956, Wobr Emmy Primetime am Ysgrifennu Rhagorol ar gyfer Cyfres Fach, Ffilm, neu Raglen Ddramatig Arbennig, ar ôl cael ei henwebu yn 2012 hefyd. Cafodd River, cyfres 6 rhan ar gyfer y BBC/Netflix yn serennu Stellan Skarsgard ei ddarlledu yn 2015.

The Hour, set in a BBC newsroom during the 1956 Suez Crisis, won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie, or Dramatic Special, having also been nominated in 2012. River, a six part series for BBC/Netflix starring Stellan Skarsgard was broadcast in 2015.

JOHN RHYS-DAVIES

Mae John Rhys-Davies yn un o actorion cymeriad mwyaf adnabyddus sinema fodern. Fe’i hadnabyddir gan amlaf fel Gimli yn Lord of the Rings, neu fel cymar comig Indiana Jones, Sallah, ond mae John wedi ymddangos mewn dros 150 o raglenni teledu a ffilmiau ers y 70au cynnar. Tyfodd John i fyny yng Nghymru, Lloegr a Dwyrain Affrica. Roedd John yn 28 oed pan wnaeth ei ymddangosiad rheolaidd cyntaf ar gyfres deledu ym 1972 fel Laughing Spam Fritter yn BUDGIE ar y BBC, cyn ymuno â John Hurt ar The Naked Civil Servant ac I, Claudius a Claudius The God. Enillodd perfformiad John enwebiad Emmy iddo, a arweiniodd at Victor / Victoria a Raiders Of The Lost Ark, y cyntaf o ffilmiau Indiana Jones. Mae John wedi gweithio ar nifer o ffilmiau a rhaglenni teledu ac wedi gwneud ymddangosiadau gwadd cofiadwy ar Chips, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, Tales From The Crypt A Star Trek:Voyager.

John Rhys-Davies is one of modern cinema's most recognisable character actors. While best known as Gimli in Lord of the Rings, or as Indiana Jones' comic sidekick, Sallah, John has appeared in over 150 television shows and films since the early '70s. John grew up in Wales, England and East Africa. John was 28 when he made his first regular television series appearance in 1972 as Laughing Spam Fritter in the BBC's Budgie, before joining John Hurt on The Naked Civil Servant and I, Claudius and Claudius The God. John’s performance earned him an Emmy nomination, which led to Victor/Victoria and then to Raiders Of The Lost Ark, the first installment of the Indiana Jones movies. Over the years John has worked on numerous films and television shows and made memorable guest appearances on Chips, Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, Tales From The Crypt and Star Trek:Voyager.

Ymddangosodd yn The Living Daylights A Great Expectations cyn ymuno â'r cast ar gyfer The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), a Return Of The King (2003), a saethwyd ar yr un pryd dros gyfnod o 18 mis yn Seland Newydd.

He appeared in The Living Daylights and Great Expectations before joining the cast for The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), and The Return Of The King (2003), which were shot simultaneously over an 18-month period in New Zealand.

Mae John hefyd wedi ymddangos mewn cyfryngau eraill, gan chwarae rhan flaenllaw mewn gemau fideo fel Wing Commander III: Heart Of The Tiger, Dune 2000, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, A Quest For Glory IV. Mae hefyd yn gweithio ar gêm newydd SQUADRON 42 gyda Chris Roberts (Wing Commander).

John has also branched out to other media, starring in video games such as Wing Commander III: Heart Of The Tiger, Dune 2000, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and Quest For Glory IV. He is currently working on Chris Roberts' (Wing Commander) new game Squadron 42.

Yn fwy diweddar mae John wedi ymddangos mewn nifer o ffilmiau nodwedd gyda Jackie Chan, Gerrard Butler a Jason Statham ac ym mis Mai 2017, treuliodd ddau fis yn Ohio yn gorffen cyfnod saethu pum mis ar gyfer Starbright, wedyn dwy ffilm fer The Invader's Song a Shamira, ffilm nodwedd animeiddiedig, Beast Of Burden, mynychu tri chonfensiwn i genfogwyr, a chynhyrchu ffilm ddogfen ym Malta gyda'i ffrind Philip Glassborow.

More recently, John has appeared in numerous feature films with Jackie Chan, Gerrard Butler and Jason Statham and in 2017 he has spent two months in Ohio finishing a five-month shoot for Starbright, made two short films - The Invader’s Song and Shamira, has starred in one animated feature film, Beast Of Burden, attended three fan conventions, and co-produced a documentary in Malta with his friend Philip Glassborow.

YR ENWEBIADAU / THE NOMINATIONS
