More nominations for series 3. Keeping finger crossed for Benedict, Amanda, and Mark!

Good luck, Sherlock's crew!

An award for Amanda and Mark would be nice. Well of course also another one for Benedict ...

Yes, I am especially happy for Mark as he has not been honoured for his brilliant work. It would be lovely if the won all four of them.

Congrats to all of them for the nominations!

Every party of my anatomy is permanently crossed for them all to win

Nice to see Mark and Amanda nominted, hope they will win !(that goes for Benedict without saying ;) ).

But i am a little bit gutted they left Martin outside the niminations. Makes me to enjoy his Emmy win much more as it is so spectacularly unexpected...

Really hope Mark wins an award as he never gets nominated. My fingers are crossed for him.

Well, Martin has already received a lot of awards and nominations for his Watson. I am happy for Mark, although I think Lars Mikkelsen would deserve a nomination too: he was really an excellent villain!

I agree. Lars Mikkelsen was fantastic.

That's true, but his Watson in S3 was brilliant. So either you nominate actors because they did a brilliant job - or you go and say "Well, he's won so many awards already, he doesn't need another one." I really hope he didn't not get nominated because he already has won lots of awards but because the competition was tough and other actors showed 'better' performances (if a word like 'better' should exist in such a context).

You might get a surprise reading the list:

http://www.crimethrillerawards.com/specsavers-crime-thriller-awards-2014-shortlists-announced/

The Best Actor Dagger
o Benedict Cumberbatch for Sherlock
o Shaun Evans for Endeavour
o Martin Freeman for Fargo and Sherlock
o Matthew McConaughey for True Detective
o Steve Pemberton for Happy Valley

So Martin got a nomination this time for best actor and not for supporting actor! For Sherlock and for Fargo in one. Which is great!

And very strangely, Mark is getting against BBTHornton in the supporting category (strange because BBT was at the Emmy as main lead and here is as supporting).

Congrats to Amanda for her win!

I think this show is on the 27th October on ITV 3, not the 26th October.
