Boardwalk Empire looks to be the headliner for the fall, with its second season kicking off on Sunday, September 25th at the 9PM EST timeslot. The second season of Steve Buscemi's Atlantic City gangster epic will span 12 episodes in length, providing us with several months of knee-breakin' good times.

Hung looks as though it's still rolling on, starting up again in its third season on Sunday, October 2nd in the half-hour timeslot following Boardwalk Empire at 10PM EST. The third season will be comprised of 10 episodes. Bored to Death will complement it with its own quirkiness in its eight-episode third season, starting a week after Hung on Monday, October 10th at 9:00PM EST.

Finally, the network is not settling for all of these proven series to get by. Instead, they will turn to a brand new series on Monday, October 10th at 9:30PM EST, immediately following Bored to Death, in Enlightened. Laura Dern will be at the forefront of this new dramedy, starring as a high-level executive who has a spiritual experience amidst a breakdown, and must now sprinkle her beliefs and newfound foundation throughout her personal and professional lives to little success.

This Is England '86 picked up two nominations for Vicky McClure (Leading Actress) and Johnny Harris (Supporting Actress) in Shane Meadow's first foray into TV drama.

Fans of Doctor Who may be disappointed that their favourite Time Lord missed out on a best Drama Series nomination in a strong year for British TV, with noms going to Sherlock, Being Human, Misfits, and Downton Abbey.

Having been victorious the last two years, AMC's Mad Men will hope to make it three-out-of-three in the Best International Show category, but faces stiff opposition from Boardwalk Empire, The Killing, and Glee.

The Philips British Academy Television Awards will be hosted by Graham Norton and broadcast on BBC One on Sunday 22 May 2011. Head over to BAFTA.org for the full list of nominations

There's going to be a Goodfellas TV show.

Deadline has the report on the dubious decision to turn Martin Scorsese's revered film into a series. As the movie celebrates its 20th anniversary, word has come that the scripter of the original 1990 picture, Nicholas Pileggi, will "at least" write the pilot for the proposed series. Pileggi also wrote the book Wiseguy on which the film was based.

"Warner Bros TV is in lead position to grab the series -- the studio distributed the original pic -- though several studios want it," says Deadline. "Scorsese's participation is unclear, but [the original's producer] Irwin Winkler is likely to be the TV exec producer."
