Here in the U.S. we have the Emmy Awards, but in the U.K. it's the BAFTA's (British Academy of Film and Television). Today the nominations were announced for the TV side. Not surprisingly, hits like Fleabag and The Crown (which have also dominated the Emmys) scored multiple nominations. But the top nominee was the HBO miniseries, Chernobyl. In fact the drama about the 1986 nuclear disaster, tied a BAFTA record with 14 nominations. Here's your list of the top nominees...
