Obama secures Emmy for his vocal performance - Former U.S. President Barack Obama secures an Emmy Award for his exceptional vocal performance.
Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, has added another accolade to his impressive resume, winning his third Emmy Award for his narration role in the Netflix documentary series "Our Oceans". The announcement was made during the Emmy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles on September 14.
The five-part production, "Our Oceans", introduces viewers to the different oceans of the world. Obama's compelling narration has earned him the award in the "Best Narrator" category by the US Television Academy.
The Emmy Awards, often referred to as the television industry's highest honour, recognise excellence in American television programming. This year's ceremony was hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze.
Obama's Emmy wins are not limited to "Our Oceans". Previously, he has won Emmys for his narration roles in Netflix documentaries "Our Great National Parks" and "Working: What We Do All Day".
The former President is no stranger to the Emmy stage, having won multiple awards in the "Best Narrator" category. In this year's competition, he beat notable nominees including Tom Hanks, David Attenborough, Idris Elba, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
It's important to note that the Emmy Awards are not given for political or public speaking roles. Obama's Emmy wins are for his narration roles in documentaries, showcasing his ability to captivate audiences with his eloquent and informative storytelling.
The documentary series "Our Oceans" is now available on Netflix, offering viewers a chance to witness Obama's award-winning narration firsthand. At 64 years old, Obama continues to make an impact, not only in politics but also in the realm of entertainment.
The Emmy Awards ceremony is held annually, with technical and creative awards being presented before the main gala. The main Emmy Awards gala will take place in Los Angeles on September 14, where other deserving talents in the television industry will be recognised for their outstanding work.
