Story highlights
The British Academy for Film and TV Arts (BAFTA) has scrapped the special prizes at its TV awards this year.
After receiving severe backlash for honouring Noel Clarke in April, the British Academy for Film and TV Arts (BAFTA) has scrapped the special prizes at its TV awards this year.
Clarke was given similar award in April by the same organisation.
The main TV awards will take place on June 6 but there will be no Fellowship prize of Special Award. Last year the award was won by Idris Elba.
BAFTA told individuals that it has temporarily paused awards within its gift as it reviews procedures. The decision was taken after BAFTA received harsh criticism for pressing ahead with Clarke`s Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award recently. This inspite of being presented with allegations of sexual conduct made against the `Bulletproof` and `Doctor Who` star.
