Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman are among the nominees for this year's Bafta TV awards.
The Brit actor is up for Best Lead Actor for 'Sherlock', and this is the third time he has been nominated for the role, the BBC reported.
Colman, who has been nominated for TV Baftas for the fourth consecutive year, is up for Best Female Comedy performance for her role as a vicar's wife in TV series 'Rev'.
The 38-year-old actor will face tough competition from Toby Jones, who has been nominated for his portrayal of a man with learning difficulties in 'Marvellous', and James Nesbitt, shortlisted for his work in BBC 'One's The Missing'.
Sarah Lancashire, recognised last year for 'Last Tango in Halifax', is also nominated again, this time in the Lead Actress category for 'Happy Valley'.
James Norton is also nominated for his work in the Yorkshire-based crime drama, in the best supporting actor category.
The Bafta TV awards will be held at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London on 10 May and will be hosted by Graham Norton.
