New York (dpa) - The German nominees came away empty-handed at this year's International Emmys.
The actress Emma Bading, who was born in Monheim am Rhein in 1998 and was nominated for her role in the ARD film “Play” in the category “Best Performance by an Actress”, had to admit defeat to her British colleague Glenda Jackson at the award ceremony on Monday.
Jackson was recognized for her role in the television drama "Elizabeth Is Missing".
The second season of the historic ARD hospital series “Charité”, which was nominated in the “Best Drama Series” category, was subject to competition from India, the “Delhi Crime” series.

“Of course we would have liked to bring the award to Germany,” said “Charité” producer Benjamin Benedict of the German press agency.
“Nevertheless, it is a great honor for us to have been nominated alongside so many strong competitors.
We are very proud of the international attractiveness with which we are now perceived and how competitive German productions abroad have become. "
Germany had already missed out last year after both the nominated ZDF series “Bad Banks” and actor Jannis Niewöhner had to give way to the competition.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the prize gala for non-American productions took place largely online this time.
Actor Richard Kind moderated from a stage in New York - in front of an “absolutely gigantic empty auditorium”.
The nominees were connected via video from all over the world.

The International Emmys, which are awarded in eleven categories, may not have the glamor of the US prizes awarded in Los Angeles, but are still very popular.
