Media Molecule boss Siobhan Reddy will collect the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship award this year.
Announcing the award today, BAFTA said it had honoured Reddy "in recognition of her pioneering work on advocacy for diversity, inclusion and creative and collaborative working culture".
Reddy joined Media Molecule shortly after its founding in 2006, and has served as its studio director since 2009, following the successful launch of LittleBigPlanet on PlayStation 3. The following years saw various LittleBigPlanet sequels and spin-offs, plus Vita and PS4 game Tearaway, before the long-awaited Dreams arrived in 2020.
