It won the nomination for leading actor (Jared Harris), supporting actor (Stellan Skarsgard), and a host of TV craft nominations, such as original music, costume design, hair and makeup design, production design, writer drama, scripted casting, special, visual and graphic effects, among others.
Next place in the most number of nominations is the British Royal Family chronicles drama, The Crown —seven nominations, after which there are six nominations each for Fleabag and Giri/Haji.
