Oscar-winner Mark Rylance is facing competition from Luther star Idris Elba in the bid to be named best leading actor at this year’s Bafta TV awards.
The pair are nominated alongside Ben Whishaw and Stephen Graham, cited for London Spy and This is England ’90.
Sheridan Smith is in the running for the leading actress award, for her role as a woman with cancer in The C-Word.
Wolf Hall, based on the novel by Hilary Mantel, picked up four nominations for the awards, to be held on 8 May.
The historical drama is nominated in the best drama series category, alongside Humans, The Last Panthers and No Offence.
It has also received nominations for Claire Foy’s performance as Anne Boleyn and Anton Lesser’s supporting performance as Sir Thomas More.
Foy and Smith are joined in the leading actress category by Suranne Jones and Ruth Madeley, who are nominated for BBC One’s Doctor Foster and BBC Three’s Don’t Take My Baby respectively.
Rylance, who won an Oscar last month for his supporting role in Bridge of Spies, is nominated for his role as Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s right hand man.
