- Best Performance in a Drama

The Listeners is a psychological thriller which follows Claire, a mother and teacher who finds herself tormented by a low humming sound that no one else around here can hear. The persistent hum causes life as she knows it beginning to unravel: increasingly isolated from her friends and family, she forms an unlikely bond with one of her students, and together the pair are drawn into a strange community who can also hear The Hum. As Claire seeks to understand The Hum, what started as a support group quickly transforms into something more extreme, with far-reaching, devastating consequences. Enigmatic, provocative, and haunting, The Listeners explores the seduction of the wild and unknown, the human search for spiritual fulfilment, the rise of conspiracy culture in the West, and the desire for community and connection in increasingly fraught times. Starring BAFTA-Award winning Rebecca Hall, The Listeners has received wide praise from critics upon its world and British premieres.
