Well, thank you, my dear. I take that as a compliment, but no way am I as witty as the Dowager.

There was disappointment however for a certain rather well-known British TV show. Downton Abbey received no nominations at all, despite it being the final year in which it was eligible, and one of its stars, Hugh Bonneville, scoring a nomination for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Program for his role in spoof documentary W1A.
It’s not the first time the drama juggernaut has been snubbed. Downton Abbey has never won a BAFTA TV award, despite it being one of the U.K.’s biggest shows and one of the forerunners of the recent British invasion of U.S. TV.
That invasion is showing no signs of slowing down. For a heads up on the next big shows to hit our shores, check out the full list of nominations on Deadline.

This simply underscores the irrelevance of such industry awards.

It often seems that only mainstream shows get the 'nods' when it comes to awards.
I know that the past two years, fans of The Walking Dead have wondered when Melissa McBride will get a best actress nom, it never happens. She is unquestionably the best actress on the show, and has gone through the most interesting story arc.
