Dutch documentary Emmy winner snubbed at home
Dutch documentary Emmy winner snubbed at home for show on missing teen
2 hours ago
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — The Dutchman who won an Emmy for his television documentary about the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway has been snubbed by the Netherlands' annual television awards.
Peter de Vries wasn't among the nominees for the "Golden Ring" awards for his Feb. 3, 2008, program, which was among the most highly viewed broadcasts in the history of Dutch television, with an estimated seven million viewers in a nation of 16 million.
It was based on hidden-camera interviews with Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch youth last seen with Holloway before her disappearance in Aruba on May 30, 2005.
The program won the 2008 International Emmy for Current Affairs but was ignored by the Dutch awards in favour of Desperate Housewives clone "Gooische Vrouwen," the variety show "Nice! De Leeuw Again" and a talent-hunt called "Looking for Evita." The nominees were announced Thursday, and a winner will be chosen Oct. 24.
"It doesn't keep me awake at night," De Vries told Dutch Weblog GeenStijl in a video interview. "I have an Emmy at home, it's standing on my fireplace, gleaming, and that's better than any other prize you could win in this industry."
Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Ala., was last seen leaving a bar in the Aruban capital Oranjestad with Van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers on the final night of a high school graduation trip to the island. Extensive searches have found no trace of her

He has a good explanation for that. He said while the Dutch prize comes from the viewers who vote for a program, the International Emmy is awarded by a jury, the connoisseurs ... 
Yeah, right!

How the heck did his documentary get put into the same category as "Desperate Housewives clone "Gooische Vrouwen," the variety show "Nice! De Leeuw Again" and a talent-hunt called "Looking for Evita." Strange awards system over there if ya ask me.

Yeah of course it's strange, it's foreign. 
This is not the Dutch equivalent of an Emmy award. There are no categories. Only one TV program that can win, the public votes for the program they appreciated the most. You can select 1 out of 100 (only Dutch productions) in the first round and 1 out of 3 in the second round (during the live gala).
PRdV's program ended as number 9.
There are also prizes for the TV man and woman of the year. A talent award and one for a childrens program.

How did they end up in the same category? Then again they are both dramas, deceit tends to be involved in the storyline and each has had at least one bitchy woman in them. The only difference I can think of is Desperate Housewives usually has new material.
