WIN, lose or tie at the Emmy's, mini-series The Top Of The Lake has placed a red seal of approval on Australian/NZ TV productions, says producer Emile Sherman.
Top Of The Lake is up for eight Primetime Emmy Awards including two acting categories, but the majority of the nominations are for the production of the six-part series.
Created and written by Jane Campion and Gerard Lee, Top Of The Lake is an Australian/New Zealand co-production commissioned by the BBC for the Sundance Channel in the US.
As the producer, Sherman, who five years ago founded Australian company See-Saw Films with Iain Canning, stands in line to win an Emmy for Outstanding Mini-Series or Movie.
Sherman told AAP the competition is tough and he has low expectations of winning when he attends the awards at the Nokia Theatre in LA on Sunday night (USA time).
Yet, he says the nominations are gold for the Australian and New Zealand television industries and it's why See-Saw Films now has now branched out in to television.Top Of The Lake was the See-Saw films' first foray into TV, and Sherman says the nominations should bring more Hollywood commissioned series Down Under.
"This has been totally overwhelming," Sherman told AAP.
"We were hoping to get one nomination, but to get eight is something we never imagined.
"I don't know when the last time an Australian mini-series has been nominated for an Emmy but it means it's been really been embraced over there which is amazing for a series."
Also nominated is veteran Sydney-based editor Alexandre de Franceschi, who along with Scott Gray, is up for Outstanding Editing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special for their worn on the fifth episode.
De Franceschi has been editing films, music videos and commercials for close to 30 years and among the more recent titles he has worked on is the film Stone which starred Robert De Niro.
