Veteran AD Tommy Gormley was one of the Outstanding Contribution winners and one of the directors he’s worked with, JJ Abrams, delivered an emotional video message that was beamed in. Abrams said: “I’d like to say three things. One: BAFTA Scotland rules. Two: Scotland rules. And three: Tommy Gormley rules. Tommy Gormley is not just the most incredible first AD I’ve ever seen but is one of the greatest people I’ve ever met.”
