New York — Danish star Lars Mikkelsen won best performance by an actor, and Germany's Anna Schudt the actress award with the BBC picking up two prizes including best doc for 'Goodbye Aleppo.'

European talent came to the fore at the 46th annual International Emmy Awards on Monday held in New York City.

Shows from the UK, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Portugal all took home the big prizes at the ceremony held at the New York Hilton Midtown and hosted by comedian Hari Kondabolu. In all, the 11 awards went to actors and programs from 10 countries.

Danish star Lars Mikkelsen (House of Cards, Sherlock) won the best performance by an actor award for his role as priest Johannes in the religious drama Herrens Veje (Ride Upon the Storm).

Germany's Anna Schudt won the best performance by an actress award for playing comedian Gaby Köster in the dark comedy Ein Schnupfen hätte auch gereicht (The Sniffles would have been fine).

Spanish heist drama La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) won the coveted best drama series prize. The drama, created by Alex Pina, focuses on an elaborate multi-day raid on the Royal Mint of Spain.

The BBC picked up the best doc award for its harrowing Syria-war documentary Goodbye Aleppo, as well as the best TV movie/miniseries prize for multi-generation drama Man in an Orange Shirt, starring Vanessa Redgrave and written by Patrick Gale.
