For the 11th consecutive year, Globo is in the running for the International Emmy. In the 43rd edition of the main award show of the television world, the broadcaster was nominated in three categories. ‘Sweet Mother’ from 2014, written by Jorge Furtado and under the general direction of Guel Arraes, is nominated for the ‘Best Comedy’ award. The series is a co-production of Globo and Casa de Cinema de Porto Alegre, an independent production company. For her performance in the role of Dona Picucha, actress Fernanda Montenegro was once again nominated in the ‘Best Actress’ category. In 2013, Fernanda took home the Award for the same role in the special shown in 2012, which gave rise to the series of the same name. Globo is also in the running in the ‘Best Telenovela’ category with ‘Empire’, written by Aguinaldo Silva and directed by Rogério Gomes (also known as Papinha). ‘Sweet Mother’ and ‘Empire’ are in Globo’s 2015 catalog.
