Britannia rules the TV airwaves
NEW YORK -- The Union Jack held sway during the 34th International Emmy Awards, with the British taking six statues at Monday's ceremony in New York.
The U.K. took all but three of the awards, which were handed out at a star-studded gala at the New York Hilton in midtown Manhattan. They included best actor to Ray Winstone as the title character in Vincent, a Granada dramedy about a private investigator; and Life on Mars (Kudos Film & TV Ltd. for BBC Wales), a drama series about a present-day police detective who awakens to find himself in 1973 and tries to solve crimes without the aid of the 21st century technology he is used to using. Best actress honors went to Maryam Hassouni, who played Laila in Offers from the VARA Broadcasting Organization in the Netherlands.
Steven Spielberg received the International Emmy Founders Award honoring his long television career. Receiving the International Emmy Directorate Award was Central European Media Enterprises and founder-chairman Ronald S.
