BAFTA TV awards gives celebs option to appear as a hologram

OHMYGOSSIP — The BAFTA TV Awards are offering nominees the chance to appear as holograms.
The socially distanced ceremony will air live on Sunday (06.06.21) and stars who aren’t able to attend in person have been given the option to have their digital likeness step in for them instead.
According to The Sun, fans who would normally come down to get a glimpse of the favourites from the small screen on the red carpet are also being given the chance to have their own hologram in attendance.
And they can even send in questions to ask the celebrities and presenters Vick Hope and Stacey Dooley will introduce them.
‘Small Axe’ leads this year’s nominations with 15 nods.
The BBC One anthology film series, directed by Sir Steve McQueen, picked up six TV nominations and nine in the craft categories, including a nod for the Mini-Series gong alongside ‘Normal People’, ‘Adult Material’ and ‘I May Destroy You’.

‘I May Destroy You’ star Paapa Essiedu will go up against John and Shaun for the Leading Actor award, as well as ‘Normal People’ actor Paul Mescal, ‘Baghdad Central’s Waleed Zuaiter, and ‘The Crown’s Josh O’Connor.
‘The Crown’ received 10 nominations – four for TV and six for the craft categories – including a nod for the Drama Series accolade alongside ‘I Hate Suzie’, ‘Save Me Too’ and ‘Gangs of London’.
