The Celebrity Traitors – which saw comedian Alan Carr burst into tears after revealing he was a traitor and winning the first season – has been nominated in the competition reality category.
It is also up against another BBC series – Celebrity Race Across The World – which last season included contestants such as Derry Girls actor Dylan Llewellyn and broadcaster Roman Kemp.
They are nominated alongside Alone from Denmark, Dual2 from Japan, Reality Queens in the Jungle: The Family Edition from the Netherlands and Street Restaurant Fighter from South Korea.
Amandaland has also been recognised – being nominated in the comedy drama and sitcom category.
The Motherland spin-off series stars Lucy Punch as Amanda – a formerly wealthy mother who downsizes and moves to South Harlesden after a divorce.

Trespasses – which also aired on Channel 4 and was based on Louise Kennedy’s novel of the same name – followed a forbidden romance during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The BBC’s Half Man – which was created by and starring Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd is also one of the nominees. It charted a tumultuous relationship of two “brothers” over the course of 30 years.
The documentary category is also dominated by UK entries – with four of the six nominees.

The Rose d’Or has named 78 finalists from 19 countries for its 65th awards.
An international panel of industry experts chose the finalists from more than 500 entries, scoring each on idea, production values and impact.
Mark Rowland, chair of the Rose d’Or Awards, said: “It’s been a terrific year, with an incredibly wide range of entries – it’s great to see so many countries represented in this final selection.”
The winners will be revealed on Monday November 30 at Kings Place, London, at a ceremony hosted by Ania Magliano, star of Saturday Night Live UK.
