Jodie Comer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Emilia Clarke have all earned Emmy nominations, as Game Of Thrones set a new record in its final season.
Olivia Colman, Kit Harington and Hugh Grant were among the other British stars celebrating but there was disappointment for Bodyguard’s Richard Madden.
The nominations for the Emmy Awards, which honour the best in television each year, were announced at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
While Game Of Thrones’ eighth and final season was met with mixed reviews earlier this year, it picked up 32 nominations, the most for any programme in a single season and breaking a 25-year record.

The supporting actress in a drama series is packed with British and Irish talent, with Killing Eve’s Fiona Shaw being joined by Game Of Thrones’ Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Gwendoline Christie.
Ozark’s Julia Garner rounds off the category. In the supporting drama actor category, Game Of Thrones again performed strongly.
Alfie Allen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldeau and Peter Dinklage were all recognised. Better Call Saul stars Jonathan Banks and Giancarlo Esposito were joined by House Of Cards’ Michael Kelly and This Is Us’ Chris Sullivan in the same category.
