The trio are set for a showdown of potentially epic proportions after all being shortlisted for best actor in a miniseries, following the announcement of the nominations on Thursday.
While Cumberbatch has landed his nomination for the most recent series of Sherlock, Freeman has been recognised for his role as Lester Nygaard in Fargo – and Elba has once again picked up a nomination for Luther.
They’re joined in the category by Chiwetel Ejiofor, whose performance in the BBC Two series Dancing On The Edge as bandleader Louis Lester has also won him a nomination.
However the four will face some stiff competition from their rivals in the category, who include Mark Ruffalo for The Normal Heart, and Billy Bob Thornton for his role as Fargo’s hit man Lorne Malvo.
The Fargo nomination is one of two for Freeman, who will also compete for the best supporting actor in a miniseries or movie for the
The Emmy Awards will be handed out at a star-studded ceremony in Hollywood on Monday August 25.

今年艾美獎(jiǎng)的頒獎(jiǎng)典禮將于北京時(shí)間8月26日舉行。艾美獎(jiǎng)是美國(guó)電視界的最高獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),其地位如同奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)于電影界和格萊美獎(jiǎng)于音樂界一樣重要。值得一提的是,《神探夏洛克》囊括了本屆艾美獎(jiǎng)12項(xiàng)提名,這無疑是全球“神夏迷”的眾望所歸。
然而,最佳男主提名除了“卷福”外,還有《神探夏洛克》中扮演他的好朋友“華生”的馬丁·弗里曼。不同的是,弗里曼憑借的是他在另一部劇《冰血暴》當(dāng)中的出色表演。
對(duì)此,很多網(wǎng)友戲稱“這相愛相殺的節(jié)奏簡(jiǎn)直是艾美獎(jiǎng)最大的看點(diǎn)”。雖然艾美評(píng)委在迷你劇的評(píng)選上多數(shù)會(huì)偏向小眾走心類的劇集,但是《神探夏洛克》顯然才是所有人心中最佳的電視電影劇集。
