Featured in the Best Supporting Actor category are Benedict Cumberbatch ("Small Island"), Tom Hollander ("Gracie!"), Gary Lewis ("Mo") and Matthew Macfadyen ("Criminal Justice").

Simon Cowell's hit TV contest "Britain's Got Talent" will compete with "The Graham Norton Show", "Harry Hill's TV Burp" and "Newswipe with Charlie Brooker" for Best Entertainment Program, while "True Blood", "Family Guy", "Mad Men" and "Nurse Jackie" are nominated for Best International Show.
