Multiple Nominations For Broadchurch In Tonight's Broadcasting Press Guild Awards



Broadchurch has been nominated as Best Drama Series at tonight's 2014 Broadcasting Press Guild Awards. The drama's stars are also shortlisted, with David Tennant up for Best Acror and Olivia Colman for Best Actress. David finds himself with stiff competition from BAFTA winner Chiwetel Ejiofor along with fellow Scot Peter Mullan and Rory Kinnear. Olivia faces Gillian Anderson, Elizabeth Moss and Maxine Peake. 

The creator of Broadchurch, Chris Chibnall, is nominated as Best Writer.

The Broadcasting Press Guild Television and Radio Awards recognise outstanding programmes and performances seen or heard in the preceding year. All but three of the 14 Awards are voted for by the membership. The rest are decided by specialist panels.
