The Netflix drama The Crown, which chronicles the early years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth the Second, is leading the way at the TV BAFTAs, with five nominations, including for Best Drama Series and Best Actress, for Claire Foy.

Among the other nominees for the most prestigious award of the night, Best Drama Series, Happy Valley is also nominated in two of the acting categories, with Sarah Lancashire up against Claire Foy for Best Actress, while Siobhan Finneran battles The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby for Best Supporting Actress.

But the other two Best Drama Series nominees, The Durrells and War & Peace, don’t have any other nominations.

In a competition that allows only four nominees in each category – fewer than comparable events, such as the Oscars, Golden Globes or even the Film BAFTAs – there was no room for a Best Drama nomination for one of the most hotly tipped series of last year, The Night Manager. The three leads in the series – Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman and Hugh Laurie, who all won Golden Globes for their roles – also missed out, although there was a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Tom Hollander.

In addition to having fewer nominees per category, another difference between the BAFTAs and the Globes is that in Los Angeles in January, The Night Manager was contesting the “limited series and TV movie” categories, rather than being up against the higher profile drama series, but with six episodes, the series was too long to qualify for BAFTA’s mini-series categories.

While The Night Manager is being seen as one of the highest profile snubs, other highly acclaimed shows, including The Missing and Line of Duty also missed out. And for the first time since 2008, there wasn’t a nomination for Coronation Street, which was beaten to the shortlist for Best Soap and Continuing Drama by Casualty, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

In the various entertainment categories, the nominees include Graham Norton, Michael McIntyre, Ant & Dec and Charlie Brooker, while the comedy awards will see Steve Coogan, David Mitchell and Harry Enfield up against each other for best male performance, while Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge will be up against her co-star Olivia Colman in the race for the best female comedy performance prize. Their show will face competition for the Best Scripted Comedy award from Flowers, which also stars Colman, Camping and People Just Do Nothing, but another highly acclaimed show, Catastrophe, has failed to secure a single nomination.

And an unlikely nominee for a BAFTA, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls, is in line for an award for his Gangnam Style performance from Strictly Come Dancing, in the “must-see moment” award, voted for by viewers.

It’s a somewhat controversial set of nominations, with some of the most critically acclaimed shows being snubbed and the most-nominated show not even being available to watch on TV.

The TV BAFTA winners will be announced on 14th May, at a ceremony hosted by Sue Perkins, while regular host Graham Norton is in Ukraine for the Eurovision Song Contest.
