India loses the Emmy Awards race
Imtiaz Ali`s Amar Singh Chamkila had bagged not one, but two prestigious nominations at the 53rd International Emmy Awards. Protagonist Diljit Dosanjh was in the running for the Best Actor, along with Amar Singh Chamkila, being nominated in the Best TV Movie/Mini-Series category.
The project turned out empty-handed at the Emmys during the ceremony, which took place on Monday night in New York City. Refreshing your memory, Amar Singh Chamkila was in the running for the Best TV Movie/Mini-Series category, along with Germany`s Herrhausen: The Banker and the Bomb, the UK`s Lost Boys and Fairies, and Chile`s Vencer o Morir (Victory or Death). The award was finally given to Lost Boys and Fairies.
All hopes were lost when Diljit, who was nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor category, alongside David Mitchell for Ludwig, Oriol Pla for Yo, adicto (1, Addict), and Diego Vasquez for One Hundred Years of Solitude, however, he also lost the title to the Spanish actor Oriol Pla. Nevertheless, Diljit and Imtiaz created quite a splash at the red carpet of the International Emmys. Diljit was seen greeting the photographers with his signature namaste during the ceremony.
