The 52nd International Emmy Awards which took place in New York City on November 25 was a night full of wins and cheers. The event, presented by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (IATAS), honours the best television programmes produced and aired outside the USA in 2023. This year, the gala was hosted by none other than actor-comedian Vir Das.
The biggest win by actor Timothy Spall who bagged the Best Performance by an Actor award for the four-part British true crime television drama series The Sixth Commandment that delves into the tragic abuse and murder of Peter Farquhar and the death of his neighbour Ann Moore-Martin in Buckinghamshire. Meanwhile, Thai model-actress Aokbab took home the Best Performance by an Actress for Netflix’s thriller drama Hunger. This Thai series tells the gripping story of a woman transitioning from running her family’s noodle shop to navigating the high-stakes world of fine dining under an infamous chef.

Vir Das spoke to the press before hosting the event adding on with his humour. “We are all underdogs, we tell original stories, and come from similar circumstances. So, try to focus on what we have in common, make fun of America a little bit-that should be the trick, I hope,” he told reporters as quoted by The Times Of India.
