I know this is going to sound strange to want to predict considering the 2020 nominations announcement has been delayed due to the outbreak of Covid-19 but seeming we’re halfway through the eligibility of programmes for 2021 I thought why not start now?

I’m assuming Line of Duty misses eligibility due to the delays in production.

With regards to Best Actress, I’m wondering if anyone from the Talking Heads remakes will make the cut i.e. Jodie Comer, Lesley Manville, Maxine Peake?

On the subject of Peake, she might also be in contention for the Hillsborough-based drama Anne in which she plays justice campaigner Anne Williams. There’s still no news on when that programme is released but it should be sometime this year. BAFTA previously acknowledged the tragedy in 1997 when they rewarded the drama Hillsborough with three prizes.

According to Jed Mercurio it looks like Line of Duty season 6 might be rewritten because of the coronavirus. I wonder if this helps it make eligibility or hampers it.

I’d also add Stephen Merchant as a possible Best Actor contender. He plays an against-type role as convicted killer Stephen Port in the mini-series The Barking Murders.

I think this has now been retitled as ‘Four Lives’.
