The 2022 International Emmy Awards

Mumbai: Nominations for the 2022 International Emmy Awards were announced by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. There are 60 nominees across 15 categories, spanning 23 countries.

"When you look at the geographic spread, diversity, and quality of our nominees, it becomes obvious that great television knows no borders and is emerging around the world," said International Academy President & CEO Bruce Paisner. "We look forward to recognising these outstanding programmes and performances on our global stage with the International Emmy."

The International Academy will present a new sports documentary category for the first time at its gala in New York.

Founded in 1969, the International Academy is a non-profit, membership organisation based in New York City, with over 700 members from over 60 countries and 500 leading media and entertainment companies representing all industries of television, including internet, mobile, and technology.

"This year is our 50th annual ceremony, and it’s particularly important because we are back at full strength after the pandemic. Last year, we had an in-person ceremony, but it was limited to half of our usual attendance," stated Paisner. "Especially important to note as well, we are also resuming our in-person World Festival, highlighting the nominated programs from around the world."

The International Academy is a unique organisation because it serves as a platform for international television and media leaders to come together to exchange ideas, discuss common issues, and promote new strategies for the future development of quality global television programming.

"The International Emmys provide an incredible opportunity for media companies from around the globe to build bridges and connect with one another," stated Narendra Reddy, Chief Operating Officer of The Africa Channel. "We’ve worked with the Academy to raise the profile of African content and media companies. We organised two juries in South Africa with the heads of media companies from all around the continent, which was very successful."

Each year, the leading television producers from around the world showcase their programming and compete to be recognised at the prestigious International Emmy Awards, where over one thousand international broadcasting, production, and distribution executives convene to celebrate the best in global television produced outside of the United States, as well as U.S. primetime programmes produced in languages other than English.

In 2021, nominees from India included Nawazuddin Siddique for best performance by an actor in Serious Man, Vir Das: For India for best comedy, and Aarya for best drama series.

"The quantity and quality of TV production is exploding around the world," said Paisner. "It is clear to me that the International Academy and the Emmys play a vital role in recognising the importance of international television."

In addition to the International Emmy Awards, the Academy’s yearly schedule of events includes the International Emmy Kids Awards at Mip and a series of industry events such as Academy Day, the International Emmy World Television Festival, and panels on substantive industry topics.

Winners will be announced at the 50th International Emmy Awards Gala in New York City on Monday, 21 November 2022.
