‘The Night Manager’ and ‘The Crown’ are leading the charge for British contenders at this year’s Golden Globes, with Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Colman and Claire Foy all recognised with nominations.
The BBC’s spy thriller ‘The Night Manager’ caused a stir when it aired in the summer, and now its three leads Tom, Hugh and Olivia have all received nods for the Awards, voted for by Hollywood’s Foreign Press Association.
The show itself has been included in the category for Best Limited Drama, while Netflix’s royal epic ‘The Crown’ has been recognised in the Best Drama Series category.
Both shows are up against strong contenders for the gong. ‘The Night Manager’s rivals include ‘American Crime’, ‘The Dresser’, ‘The Night Manager’, ‘The Night Of’ and ‘The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story’.
‘The Crown’s nomination sees just reward for Netflix’s huge investment. It’s up against ‘The Crown’, ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Stranger Things’, ‘This Is Us’ and ‘Westworld’.
The British annual period drama slot on the roll call, previously longtime inhabited by ‘Downton Abbey’, has now been taken up by ’The Crown’, with British actress Claire Foy receiving a nod for Best Actress - TV Drama for her role as the young Queen Elizabeth II.
Claire will be competing in her category against Caitriona Balfe (’Outlander’), Keri Russell (’The Americans’), Winona Ryder (’Stranger Things’) and Evan Rachel Wood (’Westworld’).
Other British names in the running this year include Lily Collins, up for Best Actress - Film Comedy or Musical for ‘No Rules Apply’ - and Dev Patel, for Best Actor, Film in the moving true story of a man retracing his footsteps into his childhood in ‘Lion’.
