NTAs 2019 Predictions: Who Should And Who *Will* Win At This Year’s Awards?
Nominated: ‘A Discovery of Witches’, ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Girlfriends’, ‘Killing Eve’, ‘The Cry’
Should win: Last year was all about ‘Killing Eve’ and ‘Bodyguard’, with both shows not only proving hugely popular on home turf, but also gaining international attention, including recent wins at the Golden Globes. However, with ‘Bodyguard’ becoming the most popular new drama since the current ratings system began, it bucked the trend in people favouring streaming over watching live, becoming a national talking point as a result. For that, it deserves to triumph over its rival.
Will win: It’s tough to call between the two, but with ‘Bodyguard’ proving to be more widely popular in the UK, Jed Mercurio’s drama is likely to pip ‘Killing Eve’ to the post.
