The BAFTA 2016 nominations are in!

The BAFTA Award 2016 nominations are in with Idris Elba going up against Mark Rylance to clinch the Leading Actor prize and Suranne Jones in the running to win Leading Actress for everyone’s favourite (and most gripping) infidelity drama, Doctor Foster. 

Louis Theroux is nominated for Best Documentary for Transgender Kids, while probably the most talked about documentary of the year so far which turned normal people into crime solving experts, Making a Murderer, is nominated for the Radio Times audience award. Gogglebox has got a credit too in the Reality and constructed factual category.
