Jodie and Sandra – who play main characters Villanelle and Eve Polastri respectively – will face stiff competition from Bodyguard actress Keeley Hawes, and Mrs Wilson’s Ruth Wilson in the category.
And Killing Eve will also do battle with Bodyguard for the Drama Series prize, alongside Save Me and Informer.
Keeley could take home both Leading and Support Actress prizes on the night as she is also up for the latter alongside Billie Piper, Monica Dolan and Killing Eve’s Fiona Shaw.
The drama’s Kim Bodina will take on Save Me star Stephen Graham, A Very English Scandal’s Ben Whishaw, and Unforgotten actor Alex Jennings in the Supporting Actor category.
And Save Me and Killing Eve will continue to face off in the Writer: Drama category, with the BBC drama’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge up against Lennie James.
If one of the pair scoop the gong, they will have to overcome Patrick Melrose scribe David Nicholls, and A Very English Scandal’s Russell T. Davies.
Russell’s show could also be a big winner on the night after the series picked up 12 nods, including one for Hugh Grant in the Leading Actor category. Benedict Cumberbatch, Chance Perdomo and Lucian Msamati are also up for the accolade.
What’s more, Benedict’s nod is one of six for Patrick Melrose across the TV and Craft nominations.
The show is also up for Mini-Series alongside familiar faces in Kiri, Mrs Wilson and A Very English Scandal.
There’s a big surprise in the Actor category, with no nod to Bodyguard’s much-acclaimed Richard Madden…

Away from the drama, Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly received two nods.
One came in the Entertainment Performance category – against David Mitchell, Lee Mack, and Rachel Parris – and their show Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway is up against Strictly Come Dancing, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show and Britain’s Got Talent, which they co-host, for Entertainment Programme.
The BAFTA TV Awards will take place at London’s Royal Festival Hall on May 12.
