Following her win at the 2020 BAFTA Cymru Awards, BAFTA Breakthrough alumni Kayleigh Llewellyn has gone on to win Writer: Drama for In My Skin, while the award for Director: Factual was presented to James Newton for Grenfell: The Untold story. The award for Entertainment Craft Team was presented to Nigel Catmur, Andy Deacon, Patrick Doherty, Kevin Duff, Simon Haw and Andrew Stokes for The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

The TV Craft Special Award was presented to Triple C by writer Jack Thorne. The gateway organisation that helps deaf, disabled, and neurodiverse creatives access the arts and media were recognised for their extraordinary work and dedication in improving access and accessibility, as well as connecting organisations, raising awareness around disability issues, and influencing decision makers within the television industry. In an acceptance speech, co-founder Cherylee Houston called on the Television industry to “elevate the voices of disabled creatives, develop careers and show the world the amazing talent that exists.” She added; “We as a community have a wealth of exciting untold stories to bring to the screen. We need to see more deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in-front of and behind the camera.”
