Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh Are Both Up For Best Actress at the BAFTA TV Awards – Here Are Their Best Bits

Sorry, we just can't decide who should take home the trophy...

Killing Eve Dominated the BAFTA TV Awards and Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh Are Both Up For Best Actress

In news that will definitely delight anybody who has watched TV in the past year, it looks like Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Killing Eve will triumph at the BAFTA TV Awards - with an impressive 14 nominations for the hit BBC show.

But, best of all? Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh are both up for best actress, for their equally fantastic - and mesmerising - roles as Villanelle and Eve Polastri. And we literally can’t decide which of them we want to win! (The pair are up against Keeley Hawes, for her role in Bodyguard,and Ruth Wilson, for her part playing her own grandmother in Mrs Wilson.) The drama's other nominees are Fiona Shaw - who played spymaster Carolyn - and Kim Bodina - who was Villanelle's handler Konstantin - who are up for best supporting actress and best supporting actor. Phoebe Waller-Bridge might also be taking home a trophy, as she has been nominated for best drama writer.

Hugh Grant's drama A Very English Scandal also scored 12 nominations. But, probably the biggest shocker of all is that Richard Madden is not up for best actor for his seriously sexy part in the Bodyguard.

The winners will be revealed on May 12 at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

So, while we all wait for the second instalment of Killing Eve, which is due to drop next month, we thought it was just too good of an opportunity not to revisit their best moments from season one. Obviously, there are going to be spoilers, as well as some beautiful fashion moments...

Eve and Villanelle's first meeting wasn't like your typical dinner party. Their power dynamic all turned a bit sour when Villianelle brought a knife to Eve's neck and pushed her against the fridge. Casual.

Obviously, we just had to include Villanelle wearing Molly Goddard and looking like a pink and dreamy, yet totally murderous marshmallow. Also telling her therapist: "I had quite a heavy period last week, but I think I'm okay."

The best moment of the whole show - and why we're all so desperate for the next series - is definitely when Villanelle and Eve confess their feelings for each other. You know, before Eve stabs Villanelle. (Spoiler: Eve lives!)
