Game of Thrones and The People v OJ Simpson have picked up the most Emmy Awards 2016 nominations with 23 and 22 nods respectively.
Elsewhere, The Night Manager’s Tom Hiddleston, Luther’s Idris Elba and Sherlock: The Abominable Bride’s Benedict Cumberbatch scoring acting nods for the Brits, while The Americans and Mr Robot broke through for the first time.
