International Emmys: Omar Sy, Jane Seymour, Michael Pressman to Present at Ceremony

Lupin star Omar Sy, Picket Fences and Chicago Hope producer Michael Pressman and Jane Seymour are among the presenters tapped for the International Emmy Awards ceremony on Nov. 25 in New York City.

Actor and producer Sy will present the International Emmy Directorate Award to Sidonie Dumas, CEO of Gaumont, while the International Emmy Founders Award will be given to veteran Hollywood showrunner David E. Kelley by Pressman, co-executive producer of Kelley’s shows, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said on Monday.

The French studio Gaumont is responsible for global small-screen hits like Netflix’s Lupin, featuring Untouchables star Sy, and Narcos.

Also on the list as presenters for the 52nd  International Emmy Awards are Seymour, Ali Ahn, Ken Leung, Laura Benanti, Armin Amiri, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Isadora Cruz, Rhenzy Feliz, Damian Hardung, Skye P. Marshall, Juliana Aiden Martinez, Folake Olowofoyeku and Lorraine Toussaint.

As previously announced, stand-up comic and actor Vir Das will host the International Emmy Awards after winning in 2023 for his Netflix comedy special Landing. The Bollywood star is currently on his international Mind Fool tour, and Das has created, produced and starred in multiple series including the ABC spy drama-comedy Whiskey Cavalier, the thriller Hasmukh for Netflix and the travel show Jestination Unknown for Amazon. 

Tapping Das and his creative ties to Netflix and Amazon as the host of the International Emmy Awards underlines how the kudosfest, as it celebrates the best in global television, has its nominees and trophy winners increasingly coming from the streaming space.
