So happy to see Adolescence getting recognition! Watched it last month and it's truly a masterpiece. Owen Cooper's performance was brilliant - that courtroom scene gave me goosebumps! 🎭 Indian OTT platforms should take notes on how to make such impactful limited series.

Interesting to see international awards while we're in the middle of our own award season. Though I must say, The Pitt winning Breakout Drama surprises me - thought it would go to something more mainstream. Indian shows like Scam 1992 could easily compete at this level if given the platform.

Poorna Jagannathan winning for Deli Boys! 🙌 So proud to see Indian talent shining globally. She was fantastic in Never Have I Ever too. More power to her! Though I wish they'd mentioned her Indian connection in the article.

Honestly, I find these international awards a bit disconnected from what Indian audiences enjoy. Most of these shows aren't even available here or get lost in the algorithm. Would be great if Netflix/Amazon promoted these award winners more prominently in India.

Kathy Bates winning for Matlock at 76 years young! Age is just a number when you have talent. This gives me hope for more substantial roles for senior actors in Indian shows too. Our veteran actors deserve better scripts than just family dramas.

The Gothams always recognize such diverse content. The Studio winning for comedy is well deserved - that show is hilarious! Though I wonder why no Indian shows were nominated in any category. Sacred Games or Delhi Crime could have made the cut, no?
