Award season may be over in Hollywood, but things are starting to heat up across the pond. The nominations for the BAFTA TV Awards are finally in, with the final season of The Crown leading the way with eight nods, followed by Black Mirror with seven.

The Crown didn’t make it to the best drama series field, losing the nomination to The Gold, Happy Valley, Slow Horses, and Top Boy, but that didn’t stop it from topping the list of nominees.

It scored four nods in the acting field, thanks to the amazing performances of its stars Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville, and Salim Daw. It’s also one of the main contenders in the craft categories with four additional nods, such as best costume design, makeup and hair design, sound, and special effects.

As for Black Mirror, Netflix’s anthology series owes its seven nominations to the final Season 6 episode “Demon 79”. It’s one of the contenders for best limited drama, while its leading lady Anjana Vasan secured a nomination for the best leading actress.

The 2024 British Academy Television Awards winners will be announced from the Royal Festival Hall in London on May 12. BBC One will handle live broadcast and they’re yet to announce this year’s host.
