Abrams: NEW YORK Britains Sean Bean and Brazils Fernanda Montenegro took the top acting honours Monday night at the 41st International Emmy Awards in which the statues were spread among TV productions from six countries, according to The Chronicle Herald. Abrams, who helped create such trend-setting TV series as Felicity, Alias, and Lost, paid tribute to his actors and production crews as well as his family. He credited his father, TV executive Gerald W. Abrams with teaching him about leadership, tenacity and getting things done at all costs and his wife, Katie McGrath, for her support and brutal honesty and encouraging him early on to write about things that I care about, which led him to create his first television script for Felicity and The highlight of the awards ceremony came when Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the latest Star Trek films, presented the honorary International Emmy Founders Award to writer-director-producer J.J. Abrams, who took a break from pre-production work on the new Star Wars film. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
