Starting in 2008, telenovelas will have their own category at the International Emmys in their own category.   The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is creating a new category recognizing excellence in Telenovelas produced and initially aired outside of the U.S.  It will be presented at the 36th International Emmy Awards Gala on November 24, 2008 in New York City.  More info at
