Dustin Hoffman wins International Emmy Awards

Dustin Hoffman can now add an International Emmy to his awards collection.

Hoffman won the International Emmy for best performance by an actor at Monday night’s awards ceremony at the Hilton New York for his role as a retired bachelor wooing a tortoise-loving widow in the BBC One TV movie “Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot”, the Washington Times reports.

Two other British productions received awards: “Hoff the Record,” starring David Hasselhoff, in the comedy category, and “Capital” for TV movie/mini-series.

German TV productions also won three awards, including best actress for Christiane Paul who starred in “Under the Radar” in which she plays a judge whose life is upended when her daughter is suspected of being involved in a bombing in Berlin.

“Scandal” star Tony Goldwyn presented the honorary International Emmy Founders Award to his show’s producer Shonda Rhimes, who also created “Grey’s Anatomy.”
