Hugh Grant earns a nod for his role in Florence Foster Jenkins, as does Irish star Caitriona Balfe for Outlander and Welsh actor Matthew Rhys for The Americans.

Game of Thrones' Lena Headey and The Night Of's Riz Ahmed will also be in the running for an award, when the winners are announced on 8th January 2017.
