‘Wild Rose’

Musical drama Wild Rose hit a high note at the Bafta Scotland awards last night, winning all three prizes for which it was nominated.

Tom Harper’s film about a troubled young mother from Glasgow who dreams of being a country singer picked up the best actress award for Screen Star of Tomorrow Jessie Buckley.

The film, which received its world premiere at Toronto, also won best feature film and best writer for Nicole Taylor at the awards in Glasgow on Sunday night.

Jon S. Baird was named best director for biopic Stan & Ollie while Lorn Macdonald won best actor for his performance in coming-of-age drama Beats.

On the TV front, Alex Ferns won best actor for his role of the hardy miner Glukhov in critically-acclaimed miniseries Chernobyl while Kelly Macdonald won best actress for her performance in BBC drama The Victim.
