Congratulations to the nominees! This is a good day for Philippine television! I hope this is the start of the end of the network wars and everybody will start focusing on how to produce better shows.

Angel Locsin's co-nominees include Julie Walters, who plays Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter film series. Interestingly, South Korea, which also produces popular Koreanobelas, only had 1 nomination.

naglibog ko---difference with telenobela and unsa pa to, drama/series?

really, only one entry 4 korea,hehe.but painter (land) of the wind was really good. on second thought, this was for the year 2008? most of the kdramas last year were so-so.

Yen, as per Emmy website:
"The competition took place with three rounds of judging over a period of 6 months, with participation from over 600 judges in 50 different countries."

Telenovela vs. drama series, ang telenovela is short, one season lang which usually lasts 6 months. Ang drama series is longer, usually pila ka seasons before mag-end. I'm not sure if that's the case with "Land of the Wind".

Ang TV Movie/Mini-series is shorter pa gyud, 1-10 episodes lang.

Yes, ang coverage for this year is 2008-2009 season. Specifically, aired outside the US between March 1, 2008 - February 28, 2009.
