Presenters announced for 37th Intl Emmy Awards
MUMBAI: The International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (Iatas) has announced that actor Ed Westwick will join MTV’s Alexa Chung and artist Moby on stage in New York at the 2009 International Emmy Awards on 23 November.
British Television personality Graham Norton will once again host the international event which will also feature an international cast of celebrity presenters including: Actor Matthew Rhys, (Brothers & Sisters), Actress Keke Palmer (True Jackson, VP), CSI’s Robert Joy, Actress Stephanie March (Law & Order: SVU), Fashion Designer Rachel Roy, Discovery ID’s Paula Zahn, Spanish Actress and Model Mar Saura and Brazilian Telenovela Star Juliana Paes.
Special Awards include Barbara Walters presenting the 2009 International Emmy® Founders Award to Sir David Frost and Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger presenting the 2009 International Emmy Directorate Award to ZDF German Television DG Professor Markus Schächter.
The International Emmy Awards recognise excellence in television programming produced outside of the US.
The co-nominee of Angel from Mexico, Cecilia Suarez, was also one of the presenters in last year's iEmmys. I wish iEmmys would invite Angel as one of the presenters in future iEmmys Gala night. Here’s an extract from iEmmys.
Originally from Tamaulipas, Mexico, Cecilia Suarez is one of the most outstanding young actresses today in that country’s film industry. She studied theater at Illinois State University in the United States, where she took part in several theatrical productions. After her return to Mexico, where she played in short films and worked on TV productions, in 1999, Cecilia made her major film debut with Sexo, Pudor y Lágrimas, garnering rave reviews for her efforts. In 2007, Cecilia accepted the most challenging role of her television career, to interpret the powerful character of Bambi in the new HBO® Latino America fictional series, Capadocia, which will be premiering this year in Latin America and promises to be one of the greatest productions ever carried out in Mexico. [Nicky’s note: Capadocia got 3 iEmmy nominations this year].
