And the BAFTA winners are...   (26.11.12)
  

   So, Sunday night was Children's BAFTA night. And for a fleeting
   moment the last defiant vestiges of Britain's animation industry
   emerged from  the trenches to play a salutary, solitary game of
   awards fussball in no-man's land...

   Well, okay, it's not quite as bad as that, but most folks will tell you
   the upheavals within the business over the last few years have been
   major. It's dog-eat-dog out there; adapt to survive. And these guys
   adapted, survived and were rewarded with a big golden shiny mask
   thing to put on their shelves, or use as a shield when the bullets
   start flying again... tee-hee...

   This year's headlines were made by Cartoon Network's "The Amazing
   World of Gumball", which claimed awards for Best Animation and
   Writing, and Astley Baker Davies' "Peppa Pig" who snuffled up her
   fourth win. What a greedy piggy she is!

   Top billing, however, went to Brian Cosgrove who collected this
   year's Special Award, in celebration of his forty years in the
   business. Brian needs no introduction here, of course. He's a
   Toon God and you'll find many of the classic series and films that
   he produced and directed identified in our TvToons section. It's
   about bleedin' time he got rewarded like this, isn't it?

   As always, Yours Truly has identified each of the winners
   for you, in the categories relevant to Toonhound, so's you can
   see who triumphed and got to preen in front of the cameras,
   and who got all dolled up, only to leave empty-handed...
