“The diversity, geographic spread and quality of this year’s nominees is a testament to the increasing wealth of outstanding television being created on a global scale,” Bruce L. Paisner, president and CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, said Thursday. “We congratulate the nominees for their outstanding achievements.”

The International Academy will also present special awards to CNN and PBS journalist Christiane Amanpour, who was one of Variety’s Power of Women honorees earlier this year, and to David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the creators and showrunners of “Game of Thrones.”
