It's really well deserved but I fear he's going to lose out to Robbie Coltrane.

Congrats Benedict! Very happy he got a nomination. I was reading the list of nominees on The Guardian and I burst out laughing at the very last one....: Virgin’s Must-See Moments Game of Thrones – Battle of the Bastards The Late Late Show with James Corden – Carpool Karaoke with Michelle Obama Line of Duty – Urgent exit required Planet Earth II – Snakes v Iguanas chase Strictly Come Dancing – Ed Balls’ Gangnam Style Who Do You Think You Are? – Danny Dyer’s originsI don't even remember what the whole hoopla about Danny Dyer re: Sherlock, Benedict and posh-gate was ultimately about years ago but for whatever reason just the mention of his name still makes me amused.

Full list: The Guardian - full listAll the nominees for leading actor The Hollow Crown was nominated for Mini-Series I like that Tom Hollander was nominated for Supporting Actor for TNM And I like that TNM wasn't. What is National Treasure about? Where can I watch it?

I like that Tom Hollander was nominated for Supporting Actor for TNM It's so funny how BAFTA TV is so contrarian and BAFTA movies is such a brown noser. I mean BAFTA film nominees tend to be pretty much exactly the same ones as any big awards (Oscars first and foremost) whereas BAFTA TV mostly have their own mind. Like Emmys love Sherlock, BAFTAs don't (case in point series 3 which won tons of Emmys but only got 1 BAFTA nomination.) Emmys (and GGs and all) nominated Hiddleston, Laurie, Colman and at times Debicki, BAFTA ignores them all and goes for Hollander. I liked TNM but really I think Hollander has been snubbed so much that I am happy to see him get the Best Supporting Actor nod rather than Laurie (although I love him too!) ETA: Sorry for formatting issue.

I think the Bafta TV Awards nominate British actors and shows, while the international series are a special category. At the Bafta Film Awards the British films are the special category and all the other nominees (actor, directors, movies, etc) are international. The essence is different from the start.

This is true. But I think even if a show is British (like Sherlock) once it becomes famous in the US the BAFTAs don't like rewarding it anymore. They're like the tall poppy syndrome of awards shows. (This is actually a kind of stupid complaint on my part cause personally I don't think Sherlock series 3 deserved to get more wins/nominations than series 2, but I'm cynical enough to think with the BAFTAs it wasn't as much a matter of quality but rather a matter of "these people have made it in America, alas hate them we now shall.")

Agreed that BAFTA TV is much more unpredictable than the very obvious movie awards. This years the logic was that The Night Manager, a very successful British production with a good number of international awards in the pocket, would had much more nominations but it doesn't! (I almost wrote The Crown, too but I just noticed that it's nominated in the drama category. Actually it seems it had a good number of nominations!).
I also thought that awards would forget THC. It was very acclaimed at the time but it was a long time ago. I'm very happy he and the series are nominated. Another for Sophie Okonedo would had been perfect.
I think Coltrane has the advantage just because if I remember well he won some of the press-critics British awards but again BC won them for Parade's End and was totally ignored in the BAFTAs that year!

BC has come a long way in his career since Parades End. He's shed a lot of the internet boyfriend label (thank god) so maybe he'll be taken more seriously this time around. It's been, what? Three years since his last nomination?

I am over the moon that BC was nominated for his performance in The Hollow Crown. It was truly his finest work to me. I hope he wins but even if he doesn't it won't matter to me one whit because nothing can ever take away from the beauty of that performance. It was unparalleled IMO.
I am am sad that TAB didn't get any acting noms for him but there is always next year for Sherlock so there is hope.
:-))
