BAFTA TV Awards 2013: Olivia Colman Wins Big at the Event

Actress Olivia Colman was the big winner at the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards (Baftas) held at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

The 39-year-old took home the awards for the best female in a comedy award for her role in BBC2's Olympics spoof Twenty Twelve and the supporting actress prize for BBC1 drama Accused.

"I can't believe it. I keep thinking it's wrong. I feel very wobbly. I thought I might be in with a chance for Accused, because it is such a beautiful script. But Twenty Twelve, I didn't think, because I was against such wonderful talents," she said, adding, "Hollywood hasn't called, unless they have got a digit wrong. Of course I would go if they asked. It's warm and they pay better. I wouldn't like to live there as I've got a family, but who wouldn't go for a couple of years."

Meanwhile, Sheridan Smith was seen getting emotional when she found out that she had won the prestigious award for Leading Actress for her role in Mrs Biggs.

"I'm just in complete and utter shock. When the nominations were announced I thought it was my mate winding me up until I went on Twitter and checked it was real," she said, "I was so convinced there was no chance I would win. But when they said my name it was like an out of body experience. It was surreal."

One of the big surprise of the night came when Channel 4's coverage of the London 2012 Paralympics won the award for Sport & Live Event beating the BBC coverage of the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.

Meanwhile, Former Monty Python star Michael Palin was awarded the Bafta fellowship.
