Spall is up for the “White Christmas” holiday episode of the spooky British anthology series, which airs on Channel 4 and has been picked up for fresh episodes by Netflix. “White Christmas” also featured “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm.
In all, the nominees in 10 categories span 19 countries across Europe, the U.K., Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The awards recognize programming that airs outside of the U.S. as well as U.S. programs produced in languages other than English.
