BAFTA Awards

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) is a charity in the United Kingdom that hosts annual awards shows for excellence in film, television, television craft, video games and forms of animation. Several Henson projects have been awarded and nominated for BAFTA awards. 
Two of the BAFTAs that The Muppet Show won actually appeared in the series, via a dream sequence in Gonzo's rendition of "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues" in episode 507. In the scene, Gonzo's swanky office contains two BAFTAs and a Rose d'Or.
