‘Chernobyl,’ ‘The Crown’ Lead BAFTA Nominations for 2020 Television Awards

Click here to read the full article.

HBO and Sky’s nuclear drama “Chernobyl” has emerged as the frontrunner at this year’s Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards and British Academy Television Craft Awards with 14 nominations.

“Chernobyl’s” impressive haul matches “Killing Eve’s” record 14 BAFTA nods last year, making it the most nominated show in the history of the awards.

More from Variety

“Chernobyl’s” nominations span multiple categories in the TV and craft awards: costume design, director fiction, editing fiction, make-up and hair design, original music, photography and lighting fiction, production design, scripted casting, sound fiction, special, visual and graphic effects, writer (drama), leading actor (for Jared Harris), mini-series and supporting actor (for Stellan Skarsgard).

Meanwhile, Netflix hit “The Crown” follows with seven BAFTA nods, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s BBC and Amazon-backed comedy “Fleabag” and BBC and Netflix thriller “Giri/Haji” have six each.

BBC and HBO’s Philip Pullman adaptation “His Dark Materials” and Channel 4’s Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne scripted “The Virtues” have scored five nominations. BBC thriller “Killing Eve,” Netflix hit “Sex Education” and Netflix drama “Top Boy” take four nods apiece.

Prior to “Killing Eve,” shows to have topped the nominations lists include “The Crown,” which picked up 13 nominations in 2017 and 10 in 2018, and “Wolf Hall,” which received 10 nominations in 2016.

“Fleabag” creator and “Killing Eve” exec producer Phoebe Waller-Bridge and “Stath Lets Flats” actor Jamie Demetriou are the year’s most nominated actors with three nods apiece.

Meanwhile, TV host Graham Norton and “Famalam” actor Gbemisola Ikumelo received two individual nominations each.

In regards to representation across nominations — with which BAFTA has had a checkered relationship in recent years — this year’s roster has seen a 22% rise in nominees of color.

New talent, in particular, has broken through, with first-time nominees comprising 57% of the performance category nominations in the TV awards, with actors including Callum Turner, Ncuti Gatwa, Gbemisola Ikumelo and Naomi Ackie.

Originally scheduled for spring 2020, both BAFTA TV awards were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Television Awards will now take place on July 31, with the Television Craft Awards two weeks earlier on July 17. Both events will take place as closed studio, socially-distanced shows, with nominees invited to accept their awards virtually.
