Former President Barack Obama Wins Third Emmy for "Our Oceans"

Former U.S. President Barack Obama has added another accolade to his impressive list, winning his third Emmy in the "Best Narrator" category for the Netflix documentary series "Our Oceans".

The award was announced during the U.S. Television Academy's Emmys ceremony, which took place on Sunday evening (local time). Prior to this win, Obama had previously claimed Emmys for "Our Great National Parks" and "Working: What We Do All Day".

The five-part production, "Our Oceans", showcases the diverse and vital oceans of the world, with Obama providing captivating narration. The series is available on Netflix.

Obama's victory was a closely contested one, as he faced off against renowned actors such as Tom Hanks, David Attenborough, Idris Elba, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the "Best Narrator" category.

The Emmys, considered the most prestigious television awards in the U.S., recognise excellence in US television production. Some awards in technical and creative categories were already being presented before the main event, with the gala for the main Emmys scheduled to take place on September 14 in Los Angeles.

The documentary series was produced by the U.S. Television Academy, and the main Emmys event will be broadcast on a major US network.

At 64 years old, Obama continues to make history, becoming the first former U.S. President to win an Emmy for a documentary series. Congratulations to President Obama on this well-deserved win!

The winners in the major categories of the Emmys will be announced at the gala in Los Angeles on September 14. Stay tuned to find out who will join Obama in the ranks of Emmy winners!
