International Emmys 2025: Rivals & Ludwig Bag Top Prizes; Diljit Dosanjh Loses Best Actor|Full Winners List

The 2025 International Emmy Awards took place on Monday night at the New York Hilton Midtown. The prestigious award night featured over 64 contenders across 16 categories from 26 countries, including India, UK, Spain, and Germany, among others. Hosted by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the 53rd International Emmy Awards honoured the best of TV films and shows.

UK took home the maximum awards, with seven categories. Rivals was named Best Drama Series, and Ludwig won Best Comedy Series. Spain's Oriol Pla won the Best Performance by an Actor for Yo, adicto [I, Addict] while Until I Kill You's Anna Maxwell Martin was awarded the Best Performance by an Actress trophy.

Imtiaz Ali's Amar Singh Chamkila, starring Diljit Dosanjh, received two nominations: one for Dosanjh for Best Actor and another in the TV Movie/Mini-Series category, but failed to clinch a single award.

Apart from the awards in the competitive categories, there were also special awards. Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana Walden was honoured with the International Emmy Founders Award, and Brazil’s Grupo Globo president João Roberto Marinho received the International Emmy Directorate Award.
