Not until 19th November will we find out who has won what, but for now, there's some celebrating to do! Why? Well, British television has just been paid tribute by the International Emmy Awards nominations. UK drama, comedy and documentary have received eight nominations... which is more than any other country. Victoria Wood is up for best actress for Housewife, 49 and Jimmy McGovern's brilliant drama The Street is up for two awards: best drama series and best actor for the ever popular Jim Broadbent.

The other nominees are Stephen Fry's acclaimed The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive as well as Little Britain, Simon Schama's Power of Art, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? and More4's Death of a President. There's a notable absence of US shows, so I think I'm correct in assuming that they have their own awards. Anyway, read over for the full list of nominations.
