The 64th Annual Prime Time Emmy Awards 2012
Downton Abbey is set to go up against US drama's biggest names if it is to be nominated for an Emmy this year.

However, should the show be nominated this year, Deadline is reporting that it will be placed in the 'Outstanding Drama Series' category.
This would potentially see it competing against the likes of the critically-acclaimed Breaking Bad, Homeland and Mad Men, the latter of which has won the award for every one of its four completed seasons so far.
The final episode of Downton Abbey's second series won 5.4m viewers when broadcast on PBS in February, the highest ratings for the channel for four years.
A movie adaptation has been rumoured, with star Brendan Coyle professing his enthusiasm for the idea.
