'Downton Abbey' continues to ride the wave of its success Stateside after scoring five Emmy Nominations on Thursday.
Julian Fellowes' period drama is up for the Outstanding Drama Series accolade, going head to head with US heavyweights 'Breaking Bad', 'Game of Thrones', 'Homeland', 'House of Cards' and 'Mad Men'.
Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville and Joanne Froggatt
The show's stars have also been singled out for more awards, with Michelle Dockery, aka Lady Mary, being tipped for the Outstanding Actress In A Drama gong and her father in the show, Hugh Bonneville, is up for the male equivalent.
And in contention for Best Supporting actor gongs are Jim Carter for his role as Mr Carson and Dame Maggie Smith for her formidable Dowager character.
Last year, British actors Damian Lewis and Dame Maggie Smith were winners at the 64th primetime Emmy Awards but 'Downton Abbey' lost out to the US series 'Homeland' for Best Drama.
Neil Patrick Harris came to the rescue at the announcement of the 2013 nominations after 'House Of Cards' actress Kate Mara was unable to make it when her plane had a mechanical malfunction and couldn't take off from Santa Fe.
Kate had been scheduled to reveal the award nominations with Aaron Paul of 'Breaking Bad' at the event, where Netflix series 'House of Cards' ended up making Emmy history.
Political intrigue saga 'House Of Cards' received a best drama series nomination - the first top Emmy nod for a programme delivered online, not on TV. The series received a total of nine bids, including acting nominations for stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright.
The most Emmy nominations, 17, went to 'American Horror Story: Asylum'. Close behind was 'Game of Thrones' with 16 nods, while 'Saturday Night Live' and the Liberace biopic 'Behind the Candelabra' earned 15 nominations each.
The Emmys will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and air on CBS on 22 September.
