Her co-star Paul Mescal, who starred as her love interest Connell in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney‘s beloved book, is up for the Best Actor prize, but again faces tough competition – from David Tennant, Martin Clunes, and Stephen McGann.
In addition, “Normal People” has also been nominated for Best New Drama alongside “Gangs of London“, “Gentleman Jack“, and “White House Farm“.
Elsewhere, Ricky Gervais‘ “After Life” is once again up for the Best Comedy Gong, but will have to beat “Friday Night Dinner“, “Brassic“, and “Still Open All Hours” to take home the prize.
And “Doctor Who” will battle it out for the Best Family Drama award against “Call the Midwife“, “Doc Martin“, and “Casualty“.
