It's a double treat for Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Here's why

In the Best Drama category, Sacred Games is competing with Brazil's Contra Todos Season 3, Germany's Bad Banks and UK's McMafia. Notably, Nawazuddin Siddiqui appears in both Sacred Games and McMafia, so double congratulatory wish is on the way for him. Meanwhile, anthology film Lust Stories is eyeing the trophy alongside Brazil's Se Eu Fechar Os Olhos Agora, Hungary's Trezor and Australia's Safe Harbour.

Information

Others

Fact
How is the International Emmy Award different from Primetime Emmys?

For the uninitiated, the International Emmy Award recognizes the best television programs produced and aired outside the United States. It is held annually in the US in November. The Primetime Emmy awards, meanwhile, focus on American primetime television programming. This year, it'll be held on September 22 at Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles. As usual, Game of Thrones has received the maximum nominations at 14.

Love
Meanwhile, Bollywood has showered the nominees with congratulatory wishes

Meanwhile, congratulatory messages started pouring in from all quarters of Bollywood. Rajkummar Rao, who played Shamshad Alam in Anurag's Gangs of Wasseypur Part 2, wrote, "I am so so proud...Congratulations. This is HUGE," and tagged Apte, Anurag, Zoya and others. Siddiqui, basking in his success, wrote, "Congratulations #AnuragKashyap you beauty, the epitome of innovation in Cinema, making Indians proud across the world."
