Read our privacy policy Black Mirror fans might be slightly disappointed that the latest season, a massive step up for the show, only received three nominations at this year's Emmys, but they'll no doubt be pleased that two of them were for cherished episode 'San Junipero'. Charlie Brooker was nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie or Dramatic Special for the Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mackenzie Davis-starring instalment, which is also up for Outstanding TV Movie. The latter is a little surprising given 'San Junipero' clocks in at only 61 minutes, hardly feature-length in comparison to say, Sherlock's 'The Lying Detective' which was also nominated at has a runtime of 89 minutes. Black Mirror's other nod is Outstanding Cinematography for 'Nosedive', the Bryce Dallas Howard-starring episode, which depicted a future where humans are subject to 'out of 5' star ratings from their peers.
