BAFTA TV Awards 2024: Netflix's "The Crown" and "Black Mirror" lead nominations

Other big nominees this year for the best on British TV awards include "Happy Valley", "Top Boy", "The Last Of Us" and "Succession".

The BAFTA TV Award nominations have arrived! 

As the internet search for Kate Middleton's whereabouts continues, the final instalment of Netflix's long-running royal family drama The Crown takes the spotlight at this year's BAFTA TV Awards, with an impressive eight total nominations. 

Close contenders include crime drama Happy Valley (seven nominations), in the running for best drama series, along with Sarah Lancashire's stellar performance as Catherine Cawood earning her a nomination for best actress, as well as the brilliant retro-themed Black Mirror episode "Demon 79", also with seven nominations.

Four actors from The Crown have earned nominations, including Elizabeth Debicki for her portrayal of Diana (best supporting actress) and Dominic West for his portrayal of Prince Charles (leading actor). 

Despite having the most nominations, The Crown falls short of a nomination for best drama series, leaving The Gold, Happy Valley, Slow Horses, and Top Boy  to vie for the big prize.
