Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 British Academy Television Awards ceremony will take place on July 31 in a closed studio, broadcast live on BBC One and hosted by comedian Richard Ayoade. And you can vote to determine who will win the Must-See Moment of 2019, with a key scene from the final season of Game of Thrones in the running.
And what scene are we talking about? Arya killing the Night King in “The Long Night,” a moment few of us will forget anytime soon.
Other nominees include the death of Sinead Osbourne on Coronation Street, the confessional scene in second season of Fleabag, Nessa proposing to Smithy in Gavin and Stacey (we pause here to remind everyone that this is a British award show), John Corbett’s death on Line of Duty, and Michael “recoupling” after Casa Amor on Love Island.
“This ‘Golden Age’ of television has now been going on for so long, we are, perhaps, entering a Diamond Age – or even a Platinum one,” said Virgin Media Ambassador and Must-See Moment judge Caitlin Moran. “Now, more than ever, we have needed the sense of escape, truth, community and joy that the best television delivers, and we are talking about it everywhere: on the sofa, on Twitter, and at a safe distance of two meters whenever we meet up.”
So whether you were shouting “GET IN THERE, ARYA!” as she went head-to-head with the Night King, Tweeting “Gngngngngn” at the hot Priest in Fleabag, or finding yourself, unexpectedly, bursting into tears when Nessa proposed to Smithy, it’s now over to you to decide on which moment truly “won the telly.” Who will take home the award this year? It’s time to vote for your Virgin Media Must-See Moment of 2019.
I think Arya (Maisie Williams) killing the Night King has a pretty good chance of taking home the gold. Everyone’s favorite assassin came from behind and had Game of Thrones fans on their feet cheering:
