Olivia Colman's performance as the Queen in The Crown had also landed her a nomination for Best Actress, alongside Emma.
The BBC’s most-streamed series of 2020, Normal People, was nominated for two Golden Globes, including Best TV Limited Series. Daisy Edgar-Jones was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series, following her exceptional performance as Marianne Sheridan.
Best TV Limited Series and Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited series, however, went to The Queen’s Gambit and Anya Taylor-Joy for her starring role in the series.
