On the comedy side, Netflix‘s Northern Irish hit Derry Girls is up against Argentine series The Boss from Star+, season 2 of the French reality show send-up Le Flambeau, and Vir Das: Landing, a Netflix stand-up special from the Indian comedy star.

Among the best actress nominees are Connie Nielsen for the Danish biopic Becoming Karen Blixen, Billie Piper for Brit HBO Max series I Hate Suzie Too, Shefali Shah for season 2 of Netflix’s Delhi Crime (the best drama winner at the 2020 International Emmys), and Karla Souza for the Mexican sports drama Dive, from Amazon. Best actor contenders include Martin Freeman for BBC‘s The Responder, Gustavo Bassani in Yosi, the Regretful Spy, Jonas Karlsson for C4’s Swedish survival thriller Riding in Darkness, and Jim Sarbh for Indian aerospace drama Rocket Boys.

In the non-scripted category, beloved British culinary show The Great British Bake Off, now in its 13th season, is going up against the likes of Japanese format Love by A.I, France’s The Time Hotel: Dalida, and Brazilian entertainment show The Bridge.

The International Academy will host the nominees at the International Emmy World Television Festival in New York from November 17-19. The winners of the 51st International Emmys will be announced at a gala on Monday, Nov. 20.
