‘The Crown’ Dominates BAFTA TV Noms As Netflix Achieves Record Haul

The Crown’s swansong season has dominated the BAFTA TV nominations, picking up eight in a record year for Netflix.

Although it missed out in the coveted Drama Series category, four of the Netflix royal smash’s actors were handed nods today including Dominic West, who played Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki, who was Princess Diana. Salim Daw and Lesley Manville are the other two nominated actors and actresses, while The Crown also received nominations in the likes of costume design, make up and sound.

Netflix achieved a record haul and was second only to the BBC with nominations, comfortably eclipsing stalwarts ITV and Channel 4 as Top Boy and Black Mirror were also rewarded.

Although not its most critically-rated season, Peter Morgan’s royal saga ended late last year with a bang and plenty controversy, and the noms come amid the ongoing Kate Middleton saga.

Elsewhere, Black Mirror has two nods in the main awards for the Demon 79 episode and a further five in craft, meaning that the top two most nominated shows are both Netflix series.

The final season of Top Boy is nominated alongside BBC double The Gold and Happy Valley, and Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, for Drama Series, while Kane Robinson has a nod in the Leading Actor category.

In the crowded international face-off, Netflix’s Beef and Class Act from France will do battle with The Bear, The Last Of Us, Love & Death and Succession.

Streamers did well overall, with Apple TV+’s Slow Horses picking up a number of nominations while Disney+ has nods for The Bear and Extraordinary.

It was also a good year for final seasons, with Happy Valley getting six nominations including writer Sally Wainwright, leading actress Sarah Lancashire and supports Siobhan Finneran and Amit Shah. The BBC will be delighted with its 65 nominations, almost double that of Netflix in second.

Wainwright will do battle with Charlie Brooker, Jesse Armstrong and Sarah Phelps in a storied Writer: Drama category – the most prestigious of the craft awards.

BAFTA said 17 of 44 nominees in the performance categories received their first BAFTA nominations including Shah (Happy Valley), Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) and Bridget Christie.

The BBC dominated with 65 nominations, followed by Netflix’s 35, Sky Max’s 31, ITV’s 23 and Channel 4’s 16.

“It is a real privilege to announce today’s nominations which recognise the most gripping, entertaining, challenging, funniest, most informative, highest quality, and most impactful TV programmes of 2023, as voted for by BAFTA members,” said CEO Jane Millichip. “More than 100 programmes across 12 broadcasters and streamers represent an extraordinary range of content. We are proud to showcase this incredible roster of talent.”

The 2024 BAFTA TV Awards will be handed out Sunday, 12 May, at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London. Here are all the nominees:
