The Best Entertainment Performer category at this year’s
television BAFTAs is dominated by gay men.
Nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television
Arts TV awards were announced on Wednesday, reports the UK's Pink News.
Simon Amstell, host of the rock comedy panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, was named as a
best entertainer nominee, alongside Alan Carr, who co-hosts The Friday Night Project, and Stephen
Fry for his intellectually-arousing game show QI.
The success of FNP provided the
springboard for Carr to begin solo hosting duties on his own comedy variety
show, Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong,
which screened earlier this year on Channel 4.
QI is one of BBC4’s
most popular programs and Fry has garnered a wide-ranging audience for this
quirky game show.
This year’s TV BAFTAs will be handed out on April 20 in London.
