A couple of months ago, the nominations for the International Emmy Awards 2021 were announced. Nawazuddin Siddiqui was nominated in the Best Male Actor category for his performance in Netflix’s Serious Men. Vir Das: For India was nominated in the Comedy category and Aarya was nominated in the Drama Series category.
The award ceremony took place on 22nd November 2021 in New York City, and Siddiqui, Das and Sen’s show couldn’t win an award. The best Drama Series award went to Tehran, David Tennant won Best Male Actor award for Des, and Call My Agent – Season 4 won in the Comedy category.
Das, who couldn’t win the award tweeted, “I was nominated for best comedy at the International Emmy Awards, for jokes. Call My Agent, a beautiful show I love won. But I got this medal, and ate this fantastic salad. It was an honour to represent my country. Thanks so much to the @iemmys.”
