DRAMA AND COMEDY SERIES NOMINATED FOR 15 PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS YOU SHOULD NOT MISS

Four well known hit dramas and comedies on DIVA, NBCUniversal International Networks’ leading women’s entertainment channel in Asia, gardnered a combined total of 15 nominations at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards!! 



Downton Abbey

This British drama series follows the lives of the Crawley family and its servants in the family's classic Georgian country house. The series begins with the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, which leaves Downton Abbey's future in jeopardy, since the presumptive heirs of Robert, Earl of Grantham -- his cousin James, and James' son, Patrick -- die in the catastrophe, leaving the family without a male offspring to take over Downton when the current lord dies. The point is important since Lord Grantham's children are daughters -- Ladies Mary, Edith and Sybil, but the facets of their lives and of those of the below-stairs staff -- also a highly regimented world -- have fascinating story lines


Critically-acclaimed period drama Downton Abbey has been nominated for seven awards:
1.       Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series – Jim Carter as Mr. Carson
2.       Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series – Joanne Froggatt as Anna Bates
3.       Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Period Program (One Hour Or More)
4.       Outstanding Casting For A Drama Series
5.       Outstanding Costumes For A Period/Fantasy Series, Limited Series Or Movie
6.       Outstanding Hairstyling For A Single-Camera Series
7.       Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (One Hour)
The series returns for a final sixth season on DIVA this September.


The Good Wife

  1. When a very public sex and political-corruption scandal lands her husband, Peter, in prison, Alicia Florrick must get past the humiliation and betrayal and assume responsibility for her family. She resumes her career as a defense attorney, shedding her persona as the embarrassed wife of a politician, and takes charge of her destiny. Four years later, Alicia decides to leave Lockhart/Gardner and start a new law firm with a colleague, Cary Agos. Now that Peter has won the gubernatorial election, Alicia must balance her evolving career and family responsibilities with her new position as first lady of Illinois.
Sensational legal drama The Good Wife was nominated for four awards:
1.     Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series –  Alan Cumming as Eli Gold
2.     Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series – Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart
3.     Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series – Michael J. Fox as Louis Canning
4.     Outstanding Cinematography For A Single-Camera Series
Season seven of The Good Wife returns to DIVA in October.



Brooklyn Nine-Nine

  1. Detective Jake Peralta, a talented and carefree cop with the best arrest record, has never had to follow the rules too closely or work very hard. That changes when Ray Holt, a man with a lot to prove, becomes the new commanding officer of Brooklyn's 99th precinct. As Holt reminds Peralta to respect the badge, an extremely competitive colleague -- Detective Amy Santiago -- starts to close in on the hotshot cop's arrest record. Other members of the precinct include Sgt. Terry Jeffords, a devoted family man, Detective Charles Boyle, a hard worker who idolizes Jake, and Rosa Diaz, a sexy-yet-intimidating detective. Civilian office manager Gina Linetti is tasked with cleaning up everyone's mess, while somehow getting involved in everyone's business.
Cop comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine worked its way to the nomination of two awards:
1.       Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series – Andre Braugher as Captain Ray Holt
2.       Outstanding Stunt Coordination For A Comedy Series Or A Variety Program
Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s third season will premiere in September on DIVA.


Hot in Cleveland

  1. When their plane gets into trouble while on a flight to Paris, three beautiful glamorous LA women find themselves in a completely new and unexpected place. Feeling the need for a girls-only, once-in-a-lifetime trip, Melanie cashes in her airline miles to finance a trip to the city of light for herself and her two best friends, Joy and Victoria, all "of a certain age" and feeling less than desirable. They never make it to Paris, though -- when the stricken plane lands in Cleveland, the women suddenly find they're popular with the men there. Realizing that while they may be lukewarm in LA, they're hot in Cleveland, the women decide to relocate. They immediately fall in love with their rental house. It takes a little longer, however, for them to warm up to the house's longtime caretaker (Betty White).


Betty White’s Hot in Cleveland has also been nominated for two awards for its final season:
1.       Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour Or Less)
2.       Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing For A Comedy Series


Don’t miss the final season of Hot in Cleveland every Sunday at 10:20PM only on DIVA (Astro Channel 702, DIVA HD 723)!
