Digital Emmy awards, first for New Zealand
New Zealand won its first International Emmy in Cannes at the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Digital awards ceremony earlier this week. Over 200 international executives from the television, broadband and mobile industries attended the awards, sponsored by Nokia and Ooyala.
It took the Digital Program: Children & Young People category with Reservoir Hill, an interactive web series that follows 16-year-old Beth Connolly as she is forced to solve a mystery when she moves to a creepy suburb.
The UK won the Digital Program: Fiction and Digital Program: Non-Fiction awards. Primeval Evolved, an online project that extends the stories, world and characters of the television show Primeval, won for Fiction. Virtual Revolution, an open source documentary, inviting users to collaborate in the making of a series about how the Internet has transformed society, won for Non-Fiction.
The Pioneer Prize was presented to Heroes creator and executive producer Tim Kring, for his innovative contributions to the field of digital entertainment with Heroes Evolutions.
“This year's winners have demonstrated how to enhance the viewers' multiplatform experience,” said Bruce L Paisner, president and CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
The awards were held on Monday, 12 April 2010.
