Nominations round up – BAFTA and Hugo Awards
April 26th, 2011
Matt Smith’s acclaimed portrayal of the Eleventh Doctor has landed him a BAFTA nomination!
The actor has been shortlisted in the ‘Leading Actor’ category alongside Jim Broadbent (Any Human Heart), Daniel Rigby (Eric and Ernie) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock). The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One on Sunday 22nd May. Meanwhile, the series itself has also been nominated for a Hugo Award, with more than one episode up for the ‘Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form’ title.
Vincent and the Doctor, The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang two-parter and A Christmas Carol are all in the running, so the odds are definitely in our favour!
Best of luck to Matt Smith and the rest of the cast and crew – we’re all behind you!
Matt truly deserves this nomination.
I find him quite fascinating to watch. He has made The Doctor his own but just has enough of characteristics of previous incarnations, particularly Doc Two and Four, in there too to remind you he is supposed to be the same person.
