Ashley Storrie wins Bafta Scotland public vote
Janey Godley's daughter Ashley Storrie has won the public vote at the Bafta Scotland awards for her performance in Dinosaur.
She also won the screenwriter award with co-writer Matilda Curtis for the BBC TV series.
The television awards went to David Tennant for his role in There She Goes and Doon Mackichan for her return to Two Doors Down.
Sports broadcaster Hazel Irvine was also honoured with the award for outstanding contribution to television.
At the ceremony in Glasgow, Storrie admitted she had been sneaking into the Bafta Scotland awards with her mum, who died earlier this month, since she was 15.
"We snuck in to our first Baftas," Storrie said. "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 Baby Reindeer 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 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.
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.
A highlights programme will be broadcast on BBC Scotland at 22:30 on Wednesday 20 November and at 23:40 on BBC One Scotland, and then on theBBC iPlayer.

NewsChina: Chinese scientists achieve breakthrough in hyper-spectral imaging technology
China - November 26, 2024 Chinese scientists achieve breakthrough in hyper-spectral imaging technology (Voice_over) Chinese researchers have made a big leap in hyper-spectral imaging technology, which is used in sensors to rapidly and accurately recognize an object in a complex environment. Developed by researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology, the broadband hyper-spectral image sensors are equipped with advanced spectral chips and powered by AI algorithms. In one demonstration, researchers showed how the technology can be used to differentiate between a silicone face mask and a real human face. (Sound_bite) Wang Zhen, PhD student, BIT Center for Scientific Exploration in Complex Environment (BISC): "Here is a facial mask made from silicon rubber that has a fundamental difference in spectral properties compared to our real human face. Through this difference, we can accurately detect and identify disguises." (Voice_over) The hyper-spectral device can simultaneously capture geometric information and dozens, even hundreds, of spectral bands, making it easy to differentiate between objects that look alike. (Sound_bite) Bian Liheng, Professor, BIT Center for Scientific Exploration in Complex Environment (BISC): "To capture spectral information across the full spectrum—from the three primary colors to hundreds of spectral bands—we need more materials for broadband spectral modulation. That's why we have developed over 100 materials that can modulate the incoming light across a broad spectrum. This enables us to collect light from hundreds of spectral bands onto a chip. When combined with intelligent algorithms, this chip-based technology integrates both hardware and software to form a powerful function." (Voice_over) The achievement has been published in the November 6th edition of the journal Nature. [Restriction: No access Chinese mainland]
