The BAFTA TV Awards have officially started in London.

The ceremony, which celebrates the best of British television, will be hosted by Greg Davies and will air on BBC One and iPlayer at 7pm UK time. Netflix’s “Adolescence” appears to be taking off, with 12 nominations after taking home nine Emmys last year.

Breakout Owen Cooper has been nominated for supporting actor alongside his co-star Ashley Walters, while fellow cast members Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Christine Tremarco also scored nominations in several categories. “Adolescence” is eligible for limited drama and the audience-voted Memorable Moment Award. At the BAFTA TV Craft Awards last month, the show – about a young teenager arrested for the murder of his classmate – won the awards for fiction director and best sound in a fiction series.

Other limited drama nominees include “I Fought The Law,” “Trespasses” and “What It Feels Like for a Girl.” Meanwhile, ‘The Bear’ will compete in the international category against ‘The Diplomat’, ‘Pluribus’, ‘Severance’, ‘The Studio’ and ‘The White Lotus’.
