BAFTA TV Awards Nominations: Snubs, Surprises & Why ‘Succession’s Sarah Snook Is Missing


The BAFTA TV Awards Nominations are out, but there were snubs for 'The Crown's Imelda Staunton and a good reason why Sarah Snook is missing.

The episode, in which a demon instructs a mild-mannered sales assistant to go on a killing spree, is up for best limited drama, while star Anjana Vasan is a surprise runner in the leading actress race. Born in India, Vasan’s inclusion in the category marks a departure from last year, when there was controversy over the all-white leading actress nominations, including a big snub for This Is Going To Hurt star Ambika Mod. Staunton’s snub means that all of the women who starred as Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown have failed to win a BAFTA TV Award, despite success elsewhere, not least for Claire Foy at the Emmys.
