Fans quickly took to X/Twitter to express their anger at James' snubbing, writing: 'Justice for James Norton'... 'Ghosts and James Norton feel like glaring omissions'.
Others wrote: 'No James Norton or Gemma Jones'... 'My only disappointment with the #BAFTAT nominations is why James didn't receive a nod for his mesmeric performance as Tommy Lee Royce in Happy Valley. He was incredible.'
Meanwhile, James' Happy Valley co-star Sarah Lancashire has been nominated in the Best Actress category.
Joining her is Anjana Vasan for Black Mirror, Anne Reid in the Sixth Commandment, Bella Ramsey for The Last Of Us, Helena Bonham Carter for Nolly and Sharon Horgan for Best Interests.
Happy Valley has received a total of six nominations including Amit Shah for Supporting Actor and Siobhan Finneran for Supporting Actress.
The show is also nominated for Best Drama and Most Memorable Moment for Tommy and Catherine Cawood's final kitchen showdown.
The awards will once again be hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer.
The nominations have been determined through a combination of TV membership-wide voting, Juries and Chapter voting.

Juries are comprised of voters with the relevant professional expertise and balance of gender, background, location and age.
Chapters are made up of BAFTA members who hold specialist knowledge in the relevant craft to the category in consideration.
Given the very high volume of entries to the BAFTA Television and BAFTA Television Craft Awards, the use of Juries ensures every longlisted entry for each category is seen and considered by each voting member.
This year, over 500 voters across 127 hours participated in 43 juries, as well as four Chapter votes took place to decide the nominations.

Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, said: 'It is a real privilege to announce today's nominations which recognise the most gripping, entertaining, challenging, funniest, most informative, highest quality, and most impactful TV programmes of 2023, as voted for by BAFTA members.
'More than 100 programmes across 12 broadcasters and streamers represent an extraordinary range of content. We are proud to showcase this incredible roster of talent at our Television Craft Awards on 28 April and our Television Awards with P&O Cruises on 12 May.
'It is important that we celebrate the extraordinary craft and creativity of the broadcast sector, particularly during this challenging year for many people working in the industry.'
