In the TV nominations, the final series of ‘The Americans’, ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ and ‘Escape at Dannemora’ lead the nominations with five nods apiece.
‘The Americans’ – which scored acting nominations for lead stars Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell and co-stars Holly Taylor and Noah Emmerich – will contest for the prestigious Best Drama Series award alongside ‘Better Call Saul’, ‘The Good Fight’, ‘Homecoming’, ‘Killing Eve’, ‘My Brilliant Friend’, ‘Pose’ and ‘Succession’.
Both ‘American Crime Story’ and ‘Escape at Dannemora’ are up for Best Limited Series alongside ‘A Very English Scandal’, ‘American Vandal’, ‘Genius: Picasso’ and ‘Sharp Objects’.
