    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.

    Apte faces fight from Jenna Coleman, Marjorie Estiano, Marina Gera

    Apte, in her category, has Jenna Coleman (The Cry), Marjorie Estiano (Brazil's Sob Pressao 2) and Marina Gera (Hungary's Orok Tel) as her competitors. In Lust Stories, she features as a college professor named Kalindi engaged in a sexual relationship with her student named Tejas.

    Amazon Prime Video's 'The Remix' also has been nominated

    Notably, the Netflix Original series and the four-shorts collection aren't the only ones from India. In Non-Scripted entertainment category, we've Amazon Prime Video's The Remix as one of the nominations.

    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.

    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."

    Siddiqui calls Anurag an "epitome of innovation in Cinema"

    Congratulations #AnuragKashyap you beauty, the epitome of innovation in Cinema, making Indians proud across the world, First for GOW being the only Indian film shortlisted by the Guardian secondly Sacred Games being nominated at the Emmy's
