QI's Fry Nominated for BAFTA

Stephen Fry has been nominated for his work on QI for the Entertainment Performance Award for the UK's 2007 British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards. He'll face strong competition from Ant & Dec for Saturday Night Takeaway, Paul Merton for Have I Got News for You and Jonathan Ross for Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. The award is considered one of the more prestigious BAFTAs.

Fry has been nominated for QI for the award on two previous occassions but failed to win. Paul Merton and Jonathan Ross (twice) have both received the award since 2000.
