The Emmy nominations were announced yesterday in Los Angeles, and once again UK television more than held its own.
A number of programmes and people from Britain found themselves in the running for an award, with directors proving no exception. In Nonfiction Programming British directors’ work led the way, with Bill Jones and Ben Timlett nominated for their work on Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut). Dan Reed is also in the running, thanks to his direction on the BAFTA-winning Terror in Mumbai.
In the Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special category, British director Mick Jackson was nominated for his work on Temple Grandin, a biopic about an autistic woman who becomes a leading scientist. Richard Loncraine also had reason to celebrate, as his film The Special Relationship was nominated for the Outstanding Made for Television Movie award.
Outside of direction, Dame Judi Dench and Jonathan Pryce were both nominated for their performances in Cranford. Sir Ian McKellen (The Prisoner), Dame Maggie Smith (Capturing Mary), Sir Patrick Stewart (Hamlet), Sir Michael Gambon (Emma) and Hugh Laurie (House) are also all up for awards.
