Alda, Lear earn International Emmy honors
Though no U.S. programs receive nominations for the 40th annual International Emmy Awards — which do take place in New York City — Alan Alda and Norman Lear will each receive special Founders Awards at the Nov. 19 ceremony, as Elsa Keslassy notes in her recap for Variety. (Previously, it was announced that Ryan Murphy would be presented with the International Emmy Founders Award.)
The full list of nominees can be found here.The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences also revealed the nominees for the inaugural International Emmy Kids Awards.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
