Everyone wants a piece of James Corden

The co-creator and co-star of BBC3's 'Gavin and Stacey' is the man they all want to be seen with. And if he wins a Bafta tonight, the queue will get longer.

The bad year for ITV is capped by 'Coronation Street' failing to muster a single nomination. ITV, however, comes up trumps with series that have been most nominated. The list is headed by Prime Suspect, with 25 nominations and seven wins, followed by Inspector Morse with 16 nominations and six wins, Brideshead Revisited (13 noms, seven wins), Jewel in the Crown (15, 5) and Cracker (12, 6). The South Bank Show has the most ever nominations with 43. Harry Hill is carrying the flag for ITV comedy this year.

Bafta - the British Academy of Film and Television Arts - was founded in 1947 by David Lean, Charles Laughton and Carol Reed among others.
