The statement read, via Variety, “in light of the New York Attorney General’s report, and Andrew Cuomo’s subsequent resignation as Governor, it is rescinding his special 2020 International Emmy Award. His name and any reference to his receiving the award will be eliminated from International Academy materials going forward.”
Last year, Cuomo was given the International Emmy Founders Award “for effective communication and leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
