The BAFTA TV Awards nominations have finally been unveiled, and Netflix bosses certainly had a reason to celebrate. The streamer’s royal drama The Crown topped the list of nominees with eight nods, followed by their hit anthology series Black Mirror with seven.
The final season of The Crown is coming into this year’s BAFTA TV Awards with eight nominations. Despite topping the list of nominees, this series shockingly didn’t make it to the best drama field, losing its spot to The Gold, Happy Valley, Slow Horses, and Top Boy.
That didn’t stop The Crown from dominating the acting categories with four nods for its stars Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville, and Salim Daw. The royal drama is also in the running for four additional craft awards, including best costumes and special effects.
As for Black Mirror, its episode “Demon 79” impressed the BAFTA TV voters and scored a total of seven nods. It’s one of the contenders for the best limited drama series, while its star Anjana Vasan scored a nod for the best leading actress.
The 2024 British Academy Television Awards are coming back to the Royal Festival Hall in London on May 12. BBC One will broadcast the ceremony, and they’re yet to announce this year’s host.
