Emmy nomination

Branagh is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Det. Kurt Wallander on Wallander: One Step Behind.

I’m honoured to be nominated amongst such a group of actors and so proud for everyone involved with this first series of Wallander. It was a huge team effort to produce ambitious television – existential angst and mystery in rural Sweden is not an easy pitch – but the public around the world has responded wonderfully, and I’m thrilled by the Academy’s recognition.
