NEW YORK - Britain picked up a leading six International Emmy nominations Monday, including best actor and actress nods for Stephen Dillane and Olivia Colman for their roles as detectives in popular crime dramas.

Dillane, who stars in Game of Thrones as Stannis Baratheon, was recognized for his portrayal of an aging British police detective in the British-French crime drama “The Tunnel,” which as an entry from France was among the nominees for best drama series.

“The Tunnel,” adapted from a Danish-Swedish crime series, finds Dillane teaming with a female French detective, portrayed by Clemence Poesy, seeking out a politically motivated serial killer who left the mutilated bodies of a French politician and British prostitute in the middle of the Channel Tunnel.

Colman was nominated for her role in Broadchurch as a detective investigating the murder of an 11-year-old boy in a tight-knit coastal Dorset town. Earlier this year, she won the Bafta TV Award for best actress for the same role.

Brazil had five nominations, including nods for three Globo TV productions: “The Mayor’s Wife” (comedy), “Precious Pearl” n(telenovela) and “Alexander and Other Heroes” (TV movie/miniseries).
