BAFTA TV Awards 2014 Nominations Include 'House of Cards', 'Breaking Bad'
The BAFTA TV Awards 2014 will be the UK's biggest TV-based awards ceremony, yet that doesn't mean the honors are confined exclusively to British television -- even if I frequently find myself marveling at how much better British TV often ends up being. But then, it's not as if I get to vote on BAFTA anyway, yet if I did, I couldn't imagine picking a better crop of shows. It's a mix of British originals, American productions and, for the first time in the history of BAFTA, internet exclusives. So yes, House of Cards will compete alongside shows like Breaking Bad and more. You know, just like at the Emmys! I'll be stunned if Broadchurch doesn't sweep though. Different categories, sure. But I feel like the point still stands.
