BAFTA TV Awards: Benedict Cumberbatch Gets Third Nomination for 'Sherlock'

Despite its Emmy wins earlier this year, the BBC miniseries — and its crime-solving stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman — were ignored.

'The Missing' and 'Happy Valley' are among the leading shows.

While the famed sleuth would be quick to reject any element of fortitude or chance in the decision-making, could it be third time lucky for Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock?

The actor on Wednesday picked up his third BAFTA TV leading actor nomination for arguably his most celebrated role, adding to those he received in 2011 and 2012.

Other BAFTA TV returnees include Broadchurch's Olivia Colman, who picked up her fourth consecutive nomination for the comedy Rev. She had previously won best actress and best supporting actress gongs for Broadchurch and The Accused, respectively.

Series Happy Valley, The Missing and Line of Duty lead the pack alongside one-off drama Marvellous, with three nominations each.

Following its win for Breaking Bad in 2014, Netflix received two nominations in the International category for Orange is the New Black and House of Cards. They are joined by The Good Wife and True Detective.

The BAFTA TV Awards will be presented in London on May 10
