BAFTA Nominations: Which British Shows and Stars Got Nods
Another round of stars and shows is on track for trophies with the announcement today of the nominees for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) TV Awards.
Happy Valley, The Missing, Rev, Cilla and Marvellous all landed a few spots on the list, while both Downton Abbey and The Fall, which have gained traction with international audiences, came up empty-handed. And the third time might be the charm for Benedict Cumberbatch, who notched his third lead-actor nomination for his titular role in Sherlock but has yet to win.
American television got nods in the international category, with Netflix’s House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, CBS’ The Good Wife, and HBO’s True Detective up for the trophy.
The nominations were announced by Amanda Abbindgdon (Sherlock, Mr. Selfridge) and Freddie Fox (currently in Cucumber and Banana on LOGO in the U.S.)
