From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Bafta has announced the six nominees in the running for the Must-See Moment award, ahead of the full TV nominations list later today (23 March).
The award, sponsored by Virgin Media, is the only Bafta TV award voted for by the public, and celebrates a number of the buzziest incidents from the past 12 months of TV.
According to Bafta, the nominees were selected based on several factors: audience viewing figures, social media discussion and desk-based research.
One of the six nominations goes to the moment in I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here when presenters Ant and Dec lampooned UK prime minister Boris Johnson.
Another nominee is the hit Netflix thriller Squid Game: specifically the early scene in which the desperate contestants play the deadly game of “Red Light, Green Light”.
Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice’s dance to “Symphony” by Clean Bandit on Strictly Come Dancing also made the list of nominees, as did the moment an emotional Adele was surprised by her former schoolteacher on the ITV special An Audience with Adele.
Another nomination is awarded to the moment in Russell T Davies’ Channel 4 drama It’s a Sin, when Callum Scott Howells is diagnosed with Aids.
Bimini’s viral performance in RuPaul’s Drag Race UK of the track “UK Hun?” has also been nominated.
Members of the public are able to vote for their favourite TV moment of the year here.
The winner will be announced at the Bafta Television Award ceremony on 8 May.
