International Emmy Awards 2017: Winners
The International Emmy Awards 2017, which aim to recognise the best in television produced and aired outside of the United States, took place on Monday night in New York.
The awards are presented annually by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, representing more than 60 countries and 500 companies from all sectors of Television, including internet and mobile technology.
The evening was hosted by Iranian-American comedian Maz Jobrani, and presenters included Kevin McKidd and Melissa Villasenor.
Kevin Spacey chose not to attend after his International Emmy Founders Award was rescinded last month, after allegations of his past sexual harassment became public.
