For his critically-acclaimed performance as Ritchie Tozer in the LGBTQ+ miniseries, which follows a group of friends in 1980s London who grow up in the shadow of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, Olly Alexander has been nominated for Best Drama Performance.
The star competes in the category alongside David Tennant, who has been nominated for his role as serial killer Dennis Nilsen in three-part drama Nes, as well as three actors from Line of Duty’s renowned sixth season: Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure.
Alexander said he’s “honoured” to be nominated in a statement posted to Twitter, and is “so happy” the series has “connected with so many of you and I am proud of everything it stands for.” Created by Doctor Who’s Russell T Davies,
