Britain, Germany each win 3 International Emmys

The centerpiece of the awards ceremony at the Hilton New York came when Tony Goldwyn, who stars as President Fitzgerald Grant in the Washington drama "Scandal," presented the honorary International Emmy Founders Award to the show's creator, producer and writer Shonda Rhimes, who also brought such hits as "Grey's Anatomy" and "How to Get Away with Murder" to the small screen.

The award in the documentary category went to "Krieg der Lugen" ("War of Lies"), about an Iraqi refugee whose information about weapons of mass destruction passed through Western intelligence agencies and ultimately was used by the U.S. to help justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The award for arts programming went to Japan's "The Man Who Shot Hiroshima," which looks at Hollywood cinematographer Harry Mimura who returned to his native Japan before World War II and later was hired by the U.S. government to shoot footage of life in the Japanese city months after it was devastated by an atomic bomb.
