Until 2007, the International Emmy awarded only the categories of best arts programming, actor, actress, comedy, documentary, drama series, non-scripted entertainment, TV movie/Mini series, children's program, current affairs program and news.^[2]

The Brazil is the country with the most nominations, 7 in total, winning in 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014, all of Rede Globo productions. In addition to a co-production in 2011 with the Portuguese network SIC, for Laços de Sangue.^[3]
