Michaela Coel won the leading actress and best mini-series awards for her ground-breaking show 'I May Destroy You'.
It came two weeks after she won writing and directing prizes at the Bafta Craft Awards, which reward backstage talent.
Meanwhile, The Crown and Saturday Night Takeaway were snubbed at the 2021 television Baftas.
Coel dedicated her acting award to the show's intimacy co-ordinator Ita O'Brien, who she said allowed people in the industry to "make work about exploitation, loss of respect, about abuse of power, without being exploited or abused in the process".
She said: "I know what it's like to shoot without an intimacy director - the messy, embarrassing feeling for the crew, the internal devastation for the actor."
Using such co-ordinators is "essential for every production company that wants to make work exploring themes of consent", she added.
Sunday's other winners included Normal People's Paul Mescal, who was named best actor, and dance group Diversity.
The troupe won the "must-see moment" award for their controversial Britain's Got Talent routine, which reflected the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.
