The nominees for the 29th International Emmy Awards were announced by International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, on October 8, 2001, at a press conference at MIPCOM in Cannes. United Kingdom won four of the six categories that competed at the International Emmys. The Channel 4 took the Emmy award in the popular arts category for his So Graham Norton series. ITV's Dirty Tricks, starring Martin Clunes, won best drama, while the arts documentary award went to Channel 4's The Miles Davis Story.

A filmed version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, whose cast featured Rik Mayall, was the winner in the performing arts section.
