‘Small Axe,’ ‘Crown’ Dominate 2021 BAFTA TV Nominations

There is almost no overlap between the Emmys and the BAFTA TV awards. So many British shows recognized by the BAFTA TV wing either never air here in the States or never bubble up high enough during the Emmys submission process. Or they’re essentially not eligible.

Still, it is slightly curious to see that neither Olivia Colman nor Gillian Anderson nor Emma Corrin were among the 10 nominations bestowed upon The Crown by the 2021 BAFTA TV nominations. What to make of that. Particularly since Corrin and Anderson received awards earlier this year and are, at the moment, considered Emmy front runners in their categories. Colman’s omission is less surprising given the resistance to her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in some quarters.

Now, does that mean the Television Academy will similarly omit these buzzed-about performances? Absolutely not. They remain front runners and, at least in Anderson’s case, will likely go home with Emmy gold. The only thing standing in Anderson’s way at this point is a potential risk in vote splitting. Helena Bonham Carter remains strong despite reduced screen time over Season 4. She received a surprise BAFTA nomination and could very well be competitive in the Emmy Supporting Actress race. She has too much screen time, unfortunately, to compete in the Guest race. Same with Emerald Fennell who nearly everyone thought would compete in the Guest race but, due to the Emmy’s screen time rule, must compete in the Supporting Actress race. Her recent Oscar win for Promising Young Woman only gives her more clout and could push her into the Emmy race.

Does that potential of a split vote put Anderson’s presumed win in jeopardy?

In other BAFTA news, Steve McQueen’s Small Axe actually had the highest nomination count with 15, including recognition for Globe winner John Boyega.

Here is the list of main 2021 BAFTA TV nominations.
