Benedict Cumberbatch, Damien Lewis and Michelle Dockery are among the British talent nominated for this year’s Critics’ Choice Television Awards.

Lewis and Dockery are up for best actor and best actress in a drama series and their respective shows, Homeland and Downton Abbey, have both been nominated for best drama.

British shows dominate the best TV movie/miniseries category, with Sherlock, Luther and The Hour all notching up nominations. The shows’ respective stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Idris Elba and Dominic West will also be pitted against each other for the title of best actor in a TV movie or mini-series.

Sherlock’s Lara Pulver, whose naked turn as dominatrix Irene Adler in the series raised eyebrows earlier this year, is tipped for best actress in a TV movie/mini-series, alongside Appropriate Adult’s Emily Watson and Gillian Anderson for Great Expectations.

But despite all this esteem for British TV, NBC’s US sitcom Community, about a group of college drop-outs, has earned the most nominations and is up for six awards in total.

The results of the second annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards will be announced on Monday 18 June, and a full list of nominations is below:

SEE THE LINK FOR THE LIST.

American Horror Story – FX
Luther – BBC America
Sherlock – PBS
Page Eight – PBS
The Hour – BBC America

Best Actor in a Movie/Miniseries

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

I'd be delighted if they win all the categories. I haven't seen all of the other nominees to compare, but I know how good--I mean great--Sherlock is.

But I also am disappointed that Martin Freeman was not nominated. I've only seen him do comedic things before, but his grief scenes at the beginning and end of TRF were heart-breaking, especially with the added touch of his military bearing. Not that comedy is easy, I just had never seen him to drama before.

And Andrew? He's amazing. When he showed up with a completely different (although false) personality as Richard Brook, my jaw actually dropped. And then the evil look he gave Sherlock when the others weren't looking? Yikes!

I suppose we should also give credit to the director for his/her (I should know which) input on all their performances.

Re: Critic's Choice Television Awards

Maybe the actors will all be there, although not sure they could take time out. It would be so fun if they showed up in character. Sherlock could say that he knew they would win.

I'm pretty sure Lara will be there because I saw her tweet to Gatiss this week: "see you in LA". I'm hoping they are all there.

OK, it might be nice to see her as a normal person -- or is she?

I suspect from her interviews and tweets that she is normal, sweet and kind but also a little bawdy and irreverent. A nice combo

Well apparently it's only the 2nd year the awards have run.
Here is a link that explains a bit more about what these awards are about. It looks interesting because basically they're running against the basic premise of the Emmys which really are very political each year.


http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118055447

The BTJA gave Sutter's outlaw biker drama three acting nominations (Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal and Maggie Siff) for this year's Critics' Choice Television Awards, continuing an inclination to look beyond the usual set of shows favored by Television Academy members.

In its inaugural bow last year, BTJA voters gave Critics' Choice noms to the likes of Eden Sher ("The Middle"), Busy Philipps ("Cougar Town") and Anna Torv and John Noble of "Fringe." This year's nom slate demonstrates a similar willingness by the 70 BTJA balloters to embrace genre shows and a wider array of programs




So going by that, they may be struggling to get the program aired or they may just refuse to be tied to any particular network to keep a totally unbiased take on the voting.
I'll do some more digging.

Thanks. All I could find was that it was broadcast on VH1 or streamed on VH1 last year. And the same article said that no network deal had been struck yet. I don't know the date of the article. Maybe we'll just have to find it online after the fact, but if you find something, will appreciate it.
