Yahoo Lifestyle Ashley Storrie won Bafta 'for my mum' Janey Godley
Ashley Storrie has paid tribute to her mum Janey Godley after winning the public vote at the Bafta Scotland awards for her performance in Dinosaur.
The comedian lost her mother to cancer on 2 November and recalled the last words she said to her were "I'm going to win a Bafta for you".
She also won the screenwriter award with co-writer Matilda Curtis for the BBC TV series.
The television acting awards went to David Tennant for his role in There She Goes and Doon Mackichan for her return to Two Doors Down.
Speaking after the awards in Glasgow, Storrie joked that if Godley had been at the ceremony she would have tried to set her up on a date by talking about her cooking skills.
"I think it would mean an awful lot for her to see me here tonight," she told BBC Scotland.
"Obviously, she'd give me about 15 seconds of praise before it was about her, but that was just the nature of who Janey was."
She said there had been "so many lovely nods" to Godley throughout the night from host Edith Bowman and other nominees.
"She's been in the room and I'm very grateful," she said through tears. "The last thing I said to her was 'I'm going to win a Bafta for you,' and I've done it so I'm chuffed."
As she received the audience prize earlier in the evening, Storrie said she had been going to the Bafta Scotland awards with her mum since she was 15.
"We snuck in to our first Baftas," Storrie admitted. "We went to the after party and a lady came up and said who are you? My ma lied and said Elaine C Smith, and she just went 'oh ok'."
As she received the screenwriter award with Curtis, Storrie said: "Thank you Matilda for writing the pilot, and then I got cast in it, and then I became a telly writer.
"I was making videos on Facebook being Harry Potter," she added. "And now I've got a Bafta."
Curtis, who devised the show based on autistic palaeontologist Nina, said: "Thank you to everyone who saw yourself in Nina - this is for you, and thank you Ashley for being the most beautiful, incredible Nina I could ever have asked for."
The ceremony was the first time Richard Gadd had been at a public event in Scotland since his show Baby Reindeer won six Emmys.
The woman who inspired the stalker character in the show is currently pursuing a defamation lawsuit against Netflix, claiming the streaming giant told "brutal lies" about her to more than 50 million viewers around the world.
Gadd was shortlisted for television actor and screenwriter prizes, and was also in the running for the audience award - along with David Tennant and Dr Who's Ncuti Gatwa, Jack Lowden of Slow Horses and Abby Cook of Blue Peter.
Out of Darkness won three awards - best feature film and best film actor and actress for Kit Young and Safia Oakley-Green.
In the factual categories, Not Your Average Family received the series award and Liar: The Fake Grooming Scandal won the prize for a single documentary.
The news and current affairs gong was awarded to BBC Scotland's Disclosure team for Catching a Killer: The Murder of Emma Caldwell.
The team helped convict Ian Packer of the murder in 2005.
During an acceptance speech, Sam Poling dedicated the award to Ms Caldwell and other survivors of Packer.
She thanked the BBC lawyer who worked on the investigation, and said: "Accusing someone of murder is not easy."
She praised the dedication of the producer, saying: "Eammon O'Connor has worked on this for 10 years and has never given up."
Speaking after she received the award, Ms Poling said: "This is their award, not ours. If it hadn't been for the bravery of those women, who had not been believed for years - without their testimony, there would have been no conviction."
She said that other women had come forward to the BBC team regarding allegations of abuse by Packer, and from other men.
Mr O'Connor added: "Police chose to let this man go free to harm other women. No police officer has ever been disciplined or sanctioned in any way for all the things they got wrong."
Commentator Andrew Cotter presented Hazel Irvine with the outstanding contribution to television, given in recognition of an exceptional standard of work across a long career.
Irvine, who began her career with STV’s Scotsport in 1987, has been a trailblazer for women in sports journalism for more than 30 years including 18 winter and summer Olympics as well as four world cup finals, Wimbledon and the London Marathon.
Producer, writer and former Edinburgh film festival director Lynda Myles was presented with the outstanding contribution to film award.
She was honoured during the ceremony with a highlights event held earlier in the year, celebrating her life and work over 60 years.
