2009 British Academy Scotland Awards
The 2009 British Academy Scotland Awards were held on 8 November 2009 at the Glasgow Science Centre, honouring the best Scottish film and television productions of 2009. Presented by BAFTA Scotland, accolades are handed out for the best in feature-length film that were screened at British cinemas during 2008. The Nominees were announced on 17 October 2009. The list caused some controversy for the lack of film actresses making the nominations. The ceremony was hosted by Lorraine Kelly.
Bill Forsyth, Jeremy Isaacs, David Jones and Patrick Doyle were honoured with Outstanding Contribution awards at this ceremony.
