This year’s National Television Awards shortlist has been announced, and it’s juicy. From Happy Valley to The Traitors, the 2023 awards are looking to be quite a night. There are also more nominations for shows from streaming platforms than ever including Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and Ted Lasso.
There are also two posthumous nominations: Paul O’Grady for For the Love of Dogs and Dame Deborah James for her documentary Bowelbabe in Her Own Words.
James Norton and Sarah Lancashire, who both starred in the crime drama Happy Valley as Tommy Lee Royce and Catherine Cawood will battle for the win in the Drama Performance category while their show will be up against Stranger Things for Returning Drama.
Two Ant and Dec-presented shows, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Saturday Night Takeaway are both nominated for The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, while the pair themselves are up against The Traitor‘s Claudia Winkleman and This Morning‘s Alison Hammond for Best Presenter.
Soap stars Danielle Harold (Lola Pearce-Brown, Eastenders) and Charlotte Jordan (Daisy Midgeley, Coronation Street) are up for Serial Drama Performance, with both of their shows being nominated in the Serial Drama category.
The awards will take place at the O2 in London on Tuesday, September 5 and will be hosted by Joel Dommett. It will air at 8pm on ITV.
