The nominees for the 37th International Emmy Awards have been released by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (IATAS) yesterday and among them are three distinctions from the Philippines. Kahit Isang Saglit, a television drama co-produced by ABS CBN and Malaysia’s Double Vision SDN BHD, is nominated in the telenovela category. Alongside Kahit Isang Saglit (internationally titled A Time For Us), another Filipino production is nominated in the Telenovela category – GMA Network’s Magdusa Ka.

But the biggest buzz in the local industry is the nomination of a local actress in the prestigious international awards derby. Angel Locsin is nominated for an Emmy award. Angel Locsin’s nomination in the International Emmy Awards is for her role in the television series Lobo (internationally titled The Wolf) in the Best Actress category. This (I think) is the first International Emmy nomination for a local actress, or actor.

The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is a membership based organization comprised of leading media and entertainment figures from over 50 countries and 500 companies from all sectors of television including internet, mobile and technology. The Academy’s yearly schedule of events includes the prestigious International Emmy® Awards Ceremony held in New York, The International Digital Emmy® Awards at MIPTV and a series of industry events such as Academy Day, The International Emmy® World Television Festival and Panels on substantive industry topics.

The nominations were announced yesterday and the winners will be announced in a ceremony on November 23. Good luck to all the Filipino nominees.
