Double awards hope for Julie Walters

JULIE WALTERS has clocked up her 13th and 14th Bafta nominations – with two nods in the Leading Actress category.

She is in the running for her role as the late politician Mo Mowlam in the Channel 4 drama Mo, and for her performance in A Short Stay in Switzerland, the BBC1 drama inspired by the story of Dr Anne Turner, who took her own life in Zurich in 2006.

The awards, which will be hosted by Graham Norton from the London Palladium on June 6, saw the BBC nominated 54 times and ITV just 12.
