LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) - Helen Mirren has added another gong to her awards cabinet, this time for her performance in the British TV drama "Prime Suspect."

The Oscar-winning star of "The Queen" was named best actress at the Royal Television Society awards Tuesday for playing embattled cop Jane Tennison in the final season of the show, which sees her alcoholic character struggling to save her career.

Michael Sheen's performance as comic legend Kenneth Williams in BBC4's "Fantabulosa" earned him the best actor award while writer-comedian Stephen Merchant won best comedy performance for "Extras."
