TV Bafta Nominations 2018: 'Line Of Duty' And 'The Crown' Among Shows Leading The Way

‘Black Mirror’, ‘Line Of Duty’, ‘The Crown’ and ‘Three Girls’ have led the nominees of this year’s TV Baftas. 

The hit dramas have each received three nods at this year’s awards, after the nominations were unveiled on Wednesday (4 April) morning.

The Crown’s Claire Foy will battle it out against Line Of Duty’s Thandie Newton for Leading Actress, while Black Mirror’s Joe Cole (seen in the ‘Hang The DJ’ episode) and Jimmi Simpson (from ‘USS Callister’) have been nominated for Leading Actor and Supporting Actor respectively.

‘Line Of Duty’ also has the added honour of being named in the Virgin Must See Moment Award, which is voted for by viewers. 

Many of the nation’s other favourite shows and talent have also been shortlisted, including ‘Ant Ant Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’, ‘The Graham Norton Show’, ‘Coronation Street’, ‘Emmerdale’ and ‘The Voice’.

There were many surprises too with the likes of ‘Cruising With Jane McDonald’ and ‘Love Island’ also picking up nominations. 

However, a number of shows found themselves snubbed, including ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, ‘The Great British Bake Off’ and ‘EastEnders’.

This year’s TV Baftas will be hosted by Sue Perkins, and take place on Sunday 13 May, airing on BBC One.
