2010 British Soap Awards

The 2010 British Soap Awards honoured the best in British soap operas throughout 2010 and 2011. The ceremony was held on 8 May 2010 at the London Studios, Lambeth, and was later broadcast on ITV1 and STV. The publicly voted categories were initially announced, which included a longlist for the Best Actress and Actor awards. The shortlist, including panel nominations, were released later.

BBC soap EastEnders won the most awards of the night, taking ten awards. These included five of the six publicly-voted categories, notably the accolade for Best British Soap. ITV soap opera Coronation Street won three awards, while BBC soap Doctors took both the Best On-Screen Partnership and Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress accolades. Both ITV soap Emmerdale and Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks claimed one award each. Maggie Jones, who portrayed Blanche Hunt in Coronation Street, was remembered during the ceremony, having died in 2009.
