Los Angeles, United States of America (USA)- South Korea’s Squid Game has become the first ever Emmy nominee drama series that is not in the English language and also picked up 14 nominations.
Squid Game’s cast which includes Lee Jung-Jae, Park Hae-soo, Jung Ho-Yeon and Lee You-mi, plus writer and director, Hwang Dong-hyuk also made up the nominations list.
“We are moving away from the old days of the US exporting content abroad and the global audiences enjoying US content only. The global content is now being appreciated and enjoyed in the US market, as well. This is the starting point for the cultural exchanges and understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
Against the backdrop of the Russian and Ukrainian war that is ongoing at the moment, I think this kind of cultural exchange will help us understand each other better and alleviate some of the conflicts around the world,” said Hwang.
The nominations for this year’s 74th Primetime Emmy Awards which were announced on Tuesday by Brooklyn Nine-Nine actress Melissa Fumero and Curb Your Enthusiasm star JB Smoove will see the Awards taking place on Monday 12 September 2022 in Los Angeles.
