Adolescence duo Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper are set to face off at the National Television Awards 2025.
The full list of nominations for the star-studded event have been revealed, with categories including ‘Drama Performance’ and ‘Quiz Show’.
Joel Dommett will be back to present the 30th awards as the final round of voting opens nationwide today.
It has certainly been an emotionally charged year of television, following the breakout success of Adolescence, and Gary Lineker making headlines as he exited Match of the Day.
Alongside that, Gavin & Stacey managed to unify the nation with their Christmas special.
But ahead of the awards show airing live on ITV1 from 8pm on Wednesday September 10, who will emerge victorious on the biggest showbiz night of the year?
Unlike other major awards, the NTA is voted by the general public, making the winners feel celebrated by viewers at home.
Those up for Reality Competition range from the roundtables of The Traitors to the crowning of an I’m A Celebrity jungle king or queen. Alongside them, Love Island and Race Across the World round out the category.
Five powerhouse contenders will be battling it out for New Drama, including global hit Adolescence, Rivals, Mobland and lip-reading thriller Code of Silence as well as Ludwig.
How to vote in the NTAs?

Hoping to cause an upset will be Alison Hammond, Traitors puppet master Claudia Winkleman, Stacey Solomon and Gary Lineker, after he ended his 26-year Match of the Day career.

In the Comedy department, Gavin & Stacey will be hoping to beat Brassic’s loveable rogues, Mrs Brown’s Boys and Michael McIntyre’s 25th Year Stand-Up Special?
In Daytime, This Morning and Loose Women will battle the cookery delights of James Martin’s Saturday Morning and the fraud-busting Scam Interceptors.
