BAFTA TV Awards 2024: The Nominations Are In

The nominations for this year’s BAFTA TV Awards have been announced, ahead of the ceremony on 12 May. 

Dominating the 2024 nominations is The Crown, which has been shortlisted in eight categories, including leading actor for Dominic West’s portrayal of Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki for her role as Princess Diana. The Netflix series was closely followed by Black Mirror, the Charlie Brooker-created dystopian drama which has been nominated seven times for its season six episode ‘Demon 79’.

Slow Horses, the Apple TV+ drama about a dysfunctional group of MI5 agents starring Gary Oldman, is up for six awards. And the final season of Happy Valley has also scooped up six nominations, with Sarah Lancashire in the running for best actress for her role as Catherine Cawood.
