Doria Tillier named Emmy Awards thanks to Iris
The Canal Plus series is named as the best comedy at the International Emmy Awards.
A few days after revealing the winners of the Emmy Awards 2025, the International Academy of American Arts and Sciences unveiled the list of nominees for the International Emmy Awards 2025: 64 programs, distributed in 16 categories, coming from a record number of 26 countries.
No French actress or actress this year in the selections… But Doria Tillier will be in the running for a prestigious statuette. The former Miss Météo du Grand Journal won a nomination in the best comedy category for Iris, her tender channel+ series which had marked the year 2024 and confirmed her author and director’s talent (she was also the main actress).
France will also be represented with DJ Mehdi: Made in France, the Doc d’Arte, but as the documentary with King of Kings: in pursuit of Edward Jones, as well as in news with Philippines: Diving for Gold, a report signed Antoine Vedeilhé, Germain Baslé, Marco Romas and Mahak Gupta for Arte.
All the names will meet in New York from November 21 to 23 for the International Emmy World Television Festival. The winners will be revealed during the great ceremony of the 53rd International Emmy Awards on November 24.
