National Television Awards 2025 nominations revealed as Adolescence stars go head to head
Adolescence stars Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham will face off at this year's NTAs.
Adolescence stars Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham are competing at the National Television Awards 2025.
The hit Netflix drama - which tells the story of how 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Cooper) is arrested for the murder of his school classmate Katie Leonard (Emilia Holliday) - has earned plenty of plaudits, and now its two top stars are in the running for the same prize.
Owen and Stephen - who played Jamie's dad Eddie Miller in the show - have both been nominated in the Drama Performance category.
They will compete against MobLand's Tom Hardy, Code of Silence actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, and Vera legend Brenda Blethyn.
Meanwhile, Adolescence is also in the running for the New Drama award, with Code of Silence, MobLand, Rivals and Ludwig.
When it comes to Returning Drama, the nominees are Vera, Call The Midwife, Gangs of London, Heartstopper and Slow Horses.
As ever, Ant and Dec are nominated for best TV Presenter, after 23 wins in the category.
This year, Stacey Solomon, Gary Lineker, Alison Hammond and Claudia Winkleman will attempt to wrestle the trophy away from the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! hosts.
It could be a night to celebrate for Claudia if she manages it, with The Traitors competing with I'm A Celebrity, Love Island and Race Across the World for the Reality Competition prize.
Joel Dommett will host the ceremony at The O2 arena in London, which will be broadcast live by ITV on September 10.
A Special Recognition Award will be presented on the night, while there is stiff competition for the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award.
Talent show The Masked Singer is in the running along with The Graham Norton Show, while Michael McIntyre's Big Show and Would I Lie To You? round off the shortlist.
Voting is open now for this year's NTAs.
