Corrie snubbed at BAFTA TV Awards as Emmerdale and EastEnders battle it out

The BAFTA TV Awards 2023 nominations were announced Wednesday morning (March 22) – but 2022 winner Coronation Street was missing from one of the major categories.

The ITV soap took home the prestigious prize for Best Soap and Continuing Drama at the 2022 awards ceremony, but was not shortlisted for the 2023 awards.

Instead, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Casualty will go head to head in the category, as they vie to take home the prize at the ceremony on May 14.

The BBC programme, hosted by Strictly Come Dancing's Claudia Winkleman, became a word of mouth fan-favourite and is nominated in the category alongside programmes including Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams, RuPaul's Drag Race UK and We are Black and British.

Claudia is also nominated for Best Entertainment Performance in the programme, alongside Big Zuu, Lee Mack, Mo Gilligan, Rosie Jones and Sue Perkins.

Netflix drama series The Crown is nominated in multiple categories too, including Imelda Staunton and Salim Daw, who receive nods for Best Leading Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

The Best Leading Actress and Actor categories see huge names going head to head in their respective categories too.

Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders), Gary Oldman (Slow Horses), Martin Freeman (The Responder), Taron Egerton (Black Bird), Chaske Spencer (The English) and This is Going to Hurt actor Ben Whishaw all nominated for Best Leading Actor.

Best Leading Actress also sees nominations for Billie Piper (I Hate Suzie Too), Kate Winslet (I Am Ruth), Maxine Peake (Anne), Sarah Lancashire (Julia) and Vicky McClure (Without Sin).

The prestigious Drama Series category sees Bad Sisters, The Responder, Sherwood and Somewhere Boy up for the award, while Best Mini-Series sees nods for A Spy Among Friends, Mood, The Thief, His Wife and The Canoe, along with This Is Going To Hurt.

There are also nods to Netflix hit Wednesday and HBO series The White Lotus in the International Category, while Ghosts, Big Boys, Derry Girls and Am I being Unreasonable are all up for Best Scripted Comedy.

Good Morning Britain and The Graham Norton Show also received nominations as part of the BAFTA TV Awards 2023, with Jane Millichip, chief executive of BAFTA, saying: "Huge congratulations to all our nominees.
