On April 20, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) held their annual Television Awards at The Palladium in London. Though the ceremony honors the best in British television, they also give out an award for the best international program airing in Britain. This year’s nominees included American favorites Family Guy, Californication, My Name is Earl and Heroes. Although they had some stiff competition, it’s no surprise (to me anyway) that Heroes took home the trophy that night.

Heroes creator and executive producer Tim Kring was on hand to accept the award, along with the Petrelli brothers, Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar. The award was presented by British actor Alan Dale who you might know from his recent appearances as Charles Widmore on LOST, Bradford Meade on Ugly Betty and Dr. Aaron Copely on Torchwood. Milo and Adrian acted as presenters at the ceremony as well, announcing the award for Best Drama Serial. The award went to Britz.

Take a look at a few photos from the night:

Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar presented the award for Best Drama Serial to Peter Kosminsky, David Aukin, Steve Clark Hall, Man-Jinder Virk and Riz Ahmed for the program, Britz.
