2020 International Emmy Awards nominations: Full list led by Glenda Jackson, ‘Back to Life,’ ‘Criminal UK’

Four days after the Primetime Emmys on September, came the nominations for the International Emmys.  These awards honor the best in television worldwide from the 2019 calendar year. There are 44 nominees in total from 20 countries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Scroll down for the full list of nominees.

Acting legend Glenda Jackson is among the contenders for her performance in the telefilm “Elizabeth Is Missing.” In July, Jackson won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her role as a widowed woman with Alzheimer’s disease trying to investigate a mystery. Her rivals here are: Emma Bading in “Play” (Germany), Andre Beltrão in “Hebe” (Brazil) and Yeo Yann Yann in “Invisible Stories” (Singapore).

The Best Actor race has another U.K. representative with 13-year-old Billy Barratt contending for the telefilm “Responsible Child,” in which he played a murder suspect. His competition in Best Actor are Guido Caprino in “1994” (Italy), Raphael Logam in “Impure” (Brazil) and Arjun Mathur in “Made in Heaven” (India).

Other standout nominees for the International Emmy Awards include “For Sama” in the Documentary category, fresh off an Oscar nomination earlier this year, and the Showtime series “Back to Life” in the Comedy race.

The International Emmy Awards will take place on Monday, Nov. 23. The ceremony will be produced from New York City.
