Timothy Spall won Best Performance by an Actor on Monday to pace the field at the 52nd International Emmy Awards, which took place in New York City. The win for The Sixth Commandment follows his BAFTA TV Award for the performance earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Bad Genius star Aokbab, the Thai model-actress who received 2017’s Screen International Rising Star Asia Award from the New York Asian Film Festival, won Best Performance by an Actress for her role in Netflix‘s Hunger.
The U.K. led the wins by country, with four accolades across best actor, documentary, sports doc and kids animation. Spain followed with two wins: Short-Form Series and Telenovela. The annual ceremony organized by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences cerebrates the year’s best in TV programming outside the U.S. This year, nominees hailed from 21 countries.
Other notable wins included French Japanese American Les Gouttes de Dieu for Drama Series, as well as Argentina’s División Palermo for Comedy.
Tonight’s event, hosted by comedian Vir Das at the New York Hilton Midtown, also honored Emmy-winning writer-producer David E. Kelly with the 2024 International Emmy Founders Award and Gaumont CEO Sidonie Dumas with the 2024 International Emmy Directorate Award.
“In these turbulent times, television is definitely an art form that brings people from around the world together — no matter their culture or language,” International Academy President & CEO Bruce L. Paisner said. “The International Academy is proud to recognize these outstanding programs and performances.”
