However, there were surprises during the gala dinner in New York. Jordan and Argentina won their first Emmy and the Dutch makers of The Big Donorshow were given the prize for the best non-scripted entertainment, "an honor in the international television world. In September won crime reporter Peter R. de Vries already an American with his Emmy in the U.S. broadcast program on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.

The Big Donorshow, a fake-reality program about organ donation, was also in the U.S. after the controversial June last year on the Dutch television show was. "Tasteless" and "unethical," sounded in the American media reported on the Emmy's.

But the show deserved this more than many other Emmy winners, "says Robert Thompson, a New York TV connoisseur. "It may be effective for political activism mixed with amusement."

Patrick Lodiers, the host of the program, held on Monday also found that mix. From the podium he turned to Den Haag. 'Think again please after, we can change our donor system so that everything is better. "Among the guests at the Hilton hotel:" The Big Donorshow was fake, so do not worry and enjoy your food. "But after the pun was perhaps not everyone picked up: "Always look at the bright side of death."

The Emmy is considered the Oscar of the television world. American TV makers have their own ceremony in September. The international version of the prize is awarded by the International Academy for Arts and Sciences, an organization with more members than six hundred seventy countries. The International Emmy's do not mean much for the public in the U.S., because most programs do not have to see. But in the rest of the world and to American colleagues is "a sign of quality and accreditation," says Robert Thompson.

The judges work in the TV world and are members of the Academy. The price Thompson is a reflection of the tastes and attitudes of the people who vote. It is, like the Oscars, a loft expression of colleagues.

Britain won seven of the ten Emmy's on hold. But in the category won telenovelle' Al-Igtiyah ( "The invasion") from Jordan. Televisión por la identidad from Argentina won the prize for best TV movie.

According to Elizabeth Guider of the Hollywood Reporter is no coincidence that the international Emmy's actually be internationalized. The targeted attempts to TV-makers from other countries and to encourage language, have success. "Interesting concepts come from everywhere, prices must be fairly distributed," says Guider. That was also clear by the cheer in the room when The Big Donorshow won. "People were pleased that the British are not their umpteenth price within dragged."

The American media expert Andy Newhart in Florida was "not surprised" about the price for The Big Donorshow, because that 'something uplifting of value "was a reality program. Thompson continues. He commented on American television last year when the controversy played. The show was not there to see, but Thompson looked at a videotape and thought it was an interesting experiment. "I was not one of those who immediately took to the disgusting words' game 'and' kidney 'in a sentence to mention," says Thompson.

He praised the success of Big Brother, Peter R. de Vries and now The Big Donorshow. "Dutch people make good television."
