The 38th International Emmy Awards took place on November 22, 2010, in New York City, and was hosted by actor Jason Priestley.

The award ceremony, presented by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (IATAS), honors all TV programming produced and originally aired outside the United States.

The nominees were selected over six months by a composite panel of 700 judges representing 50 countries.

The British TV led, like last year, most of the International Emmys, which awards the television programs made outside the United States.

The United Kingdom also won the best children's program awards (Shaun the Sheep) and best miniseries or TV movie, with Small Island.
