TV Baftas 2020: Chernobyl Matches Record For Most Nominations

The Crown, Fleabag and Giri/Haji are also among the top-nominated shows at this year's awards.

The nominations for this year’s TV Baftas have been revealed, with Chernobyl storming ahead with a hefty 14 nominations.

Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgard have both received nominations in the Leading Actor and Supporting Actor categories, while the show itself is also up for best Mini-Series.

Most of its other nominations are in technical categories, including Costume Design, Make-Up And Hair Design, Production Design and Original Music.

With 14 nominations, it’s now among the most-nominated TV shows in Bafta history, joining Killing Eve, which received the same number last year, but in 2020 is only up for four awards.
