International Emmy Awards 2026: Vir Das’ Third Nomination and ‘Real Kashmir Football Club’ Give India Two Entries
India earned two International Emmy nominations, and Vir Das became the only Indian with three nods after his special Fool Volume was shortlisted for comedy.
- On Wednesday, September 23, the International Emmy Awards announced nominations, with India receiving two spots: actor-comedian Vir Das for his comedy special "Fool Volume" and the web series "Real Kashmir Football Club" for Drama Series.
- This marks Das's third International Emmy nomination; he won the Comedy award in 2023 for "Landing" and previously received a nod for "For India," making him the first Indian performer with three such nominations.
- Released on Netflix in July 2025, "Fool Volume" was written in silence after Das lost his voice shortly before shooting, an experience he described as "strange, personal" and performed largely without rehearsal.
- Starring Manav Kaul and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, the SonyLIV drama depicts the real-life journey of the Jammu and Kashmir football club, directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and Mahesh Mathai and released in December 2025.
- The 54th International Emmy Awards will take place in New York on November 23, featuring 64 nominees across 16 categories representing 22 countries, with both Indian entries competing in their respective categories.
