Not at the BAFTA's. RPJ and HN were nominated and won (I think) the Crime Thriller Awards.

The BAFTA website has pages describing the process. But since I get off on this kind of stuff, and forgive me if you already know this, the nomination process for the TV BAFTA's is a slightly different process than we would be familiar with on our side of the pond, SweetTea. The actors (or their agents) actually have to take the initiative to submit a scene for themselves, after which it goes through several elimination rounds until the short list of 4 is determined. We may never know who actually submitted what, but I would imagine that actors who place less weight on having an award and/or keep a lower profile in general would be less inclined to do so. And even if they do, KUDOs/The BBC would have to pump a lot of money into promoting the nomination to the voters during the whole process.

That doesn't stop me from wishing PF had received a nod, though. He deserves it. His work is stellar in S10.
