For those looking for any Emmy Awards trends in the 2020 BAFTA Television Awards, there were decidedly few. Thanks to a different qualification calendar, the HBO mini-series “Chernobyl” and Amazon Prime and BBC’s “Fleabag” dominated the proceedings. Oh, “The Crown,” which is once again major Emmy player this year, also snagged some jewels, but wasn’t that expected?

“Chernobyl” led all programs with 14 nominations with “Fleabag” and “The Crown” earning seven nods each. Among series that are in this year’s Emmy mix, “Killing Eve” and “Sex Education” both earned four nominations, “The End of the F***ing World” and “Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer ” were each awarded three nods and “Succession” landed two.
Notably, HBO’s “Euphoria,” Netflix’s “Unbelievable” and Ava DuVernay’s “When They See Us” joined “Succession” in the International category. Does that mean the stylish Zendaya melodrama may have more industry support than expected? We’re not so sure, but it certainly will get HBO’s attention.
In the acting categories, nominations for “The Crown’s” Josh O’Connor and Helena Bonham Carter were as noteworthy as the fact Olivia Colman, a three-time winner and six-time nominee – was snubbed. Jodie Comer earned another Lead Actress nomination for “Killing Eve” (she won the award last year) and “Sex Education’s” Ncuti Gatwa surprised with a Supporting Actor in a Comedy Programme nod.
It should also be noted BBC’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” took a nomination in the Reality and Constructed Factual category showing that the Emmy-winning franchise has fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
A full list of all of this year’s nominees are as follows:
