The leading Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane has been nominated for his fifth BAFTA TV award for his role in Channel 4's National Treasure.
The actor is among several Hollywood names nominated by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for their annual television awards.
However, Tom Hiddleston has missed out on a nomination after winning a Golden Globe for his role in the popular drama The Night Manager.
Claire Foy is nominated for best actress for her role in The Crown, and faces competition in her category from Thirteen's Jodie Comer, NW's Nikki Amuka-Bird and Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire.
Benedict Cumberbatch is up for leading actor for his role in Shakespeare tale The Hollow Crown in the leading actor category, alongside Coltrane in National Treasure, Adeel Akhtar in Murdered By My Father and Babou Ceesay in Damilola, Our Loved Boy.
Hiddleston, as well as his co-stars, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman miss out in the acting categories, however, The Night Manager's Tom Hollander is up for supporting actor for the John le Carre drama.
The Night Manager, which was broadcast on BBC1, also did not make the best drama series category, where The Crown, The Durrells, Happy Valley and War And Peace are in line for the award.
Bafta chairwoman Jane Lush said increased investment in drama means the competition for awards and nominations is now "incredibly fierce".
Another BBC1 drama, The Missing, the thriller exploring the emotional fallout of a child's abduction, does not appear on the shortlist, which is dominated by Netflix drama The Crown.
Foy said she is "thrilled" that The Crown has been nominated for five awards at this year's TV Baftas.
Foy plays the young Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix show's first season.
Jared Harris, John Lithgow and Vanessa Kirby are featured in the line-up for best supporting actors in the historical drama.
Foy, 32, said: "I'm very honoured to have been nominated for a Bafta and so thrilled the show has been recognised in so many categories and to share this with Jared, John and Vanessa and all the amazing cast and crew.
"It's especially meaningful because the show is made in the UK with such a wealth of incredible British talent. Very, very excited."
Creator and writer Peter Morgan also celebrated the news.
"I am beyond thrilled for The Crown to have been recognised in a year where so much wonderful work has been achieved in British television," he said.
"We are all giddy and delighted."
In the soaps and continuing drama category, Casualty, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks make the grade, at the expense of ITV's Coronation Street.
Elsewhere, Strictly Come Dancing features in both the entertainment programme category and entertainment performance by series host Claudia Winkleman.
Ed Balls' Gangnam Style routine made the list of "must-see"television moments, along with Planet Earth II's snakes vs iguana chase, James Corden's Carpool Karaoke with Michelle Obama, Danny Dyer's royal revelation on Who Do You Think You Are?, Game Of Thrones' Battle Of The Bastards and Line Of Duty's series three finale.
The final Virgin TV Bafta winners will be announced on May 14 in a ceremony hosted by Sue Perkins at London's Royal Festival Hall.
