International Emmy Awards 2022: nominees

ABC non-scripted series Love on the Spectrum and Kid’s drama series Hardball have both been nominated for an International Emmy Award.

Both productions were produced by Northern Pictures, which recently won 3 Creative Emmy Awards for Love on the Spectrum US.

Karina Holden, Head of Factual at Northern Pictures and Co-creator and Executive Producer said, “It’s been a truly humbling month for the crew of Love on the Spectrum who have been acknowledged for the hard work and care they have invested into making this an unforgettably heart-warming series. Earlier this month, the US series was acknowledged in the Primetime Emmys and now the Australian series has been nominated in the International Emmys. For myself and Showrunner Cian O’Clery, it’s been incredibly fulfilling to create a successful returning series that has become so loved and appreciated by a global audience. We celebrate this nomination with the wonderful cast of the show, as well as ABC, Netflix and Screen Australia.”

Catherine Nebauer, Head of Kids and Scripted at Northern Pictures and Executive Producer of Hardball added, “Our incredible cast and crew at Northern Pictures are so proud of the Hardball series which consistently touches the lives of kids and families world-wide. Hardball is testament to the importance of producing local content which represents Australian humour, diversity and way-of-life and resonates with a global audience. There’s no denying the charm and heartfelt appeal of Hardball which was made possible by the passionate team, including Creators Matt Zeremes and Guy Edmonds, Director, Darren Ashton, Series Producer, Joe Weatherstone and our incredible supporters ABC ME, ACTF, Screen Australia and Create NSW.”

Jennifer Collins, ABC Director Entertainment & Specialist, said, “Quality Australian content is resonating with audiences the world over. I am particularly proud of the fact that the Love on the Spectrum format was developed locally with Northern Pictures and our ABC Factual team and has now had such global recognition. A huge congratulations to our production partners at Northern Pictures and our ABC team in leading the way for Australian content on the world stage. Receiving a nomination for series 2 of Hardball is another recognition of creative excellence following their win for series 1, congratulations to the entire team.”

Topping the nominations is Narcos: Mexico and South Africa’s Reyka, both with two nominations.

“When you look at the geographic spread, diversity and quality of our Nominees, it becomes obvious that great television knows no borders and is emerging around the world,” said International Academy president and CEO Bruce Paisner. “We look forward to recognizing these outstanding programs and performances on our global stage with the International Emmy.”

The International Emmys will take place on Nov. 21 in New York.
