Rules and Regulations
The International Emmy for Best Actor is awarded to a male performance in a made-for-television fiction program (i.e., a telefilm, miniseries, telenovela, drama series, or comedy). According to International Academy rules, only performances from a program entered into the competition are eligible. The same performer may be submitted for different productions as separate entries. More than one male performance from the same production may also be submitted.
To qualify, a performer must appear in at least 10% of the total airtime of the submitted episode. If the performance is part of a series, only one episode needs to have had its first broadcast within the listed eligibility dates. [2]
