Alexandre Nero is getting global recognition…
The 46-year-old Brazilian actor/singer has earned his first nomination from the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Nero is nominated in the Best Actor category for his performance in Globo TV’s A Regra do Jogo (Rules of the Game).
Nero compatriot Grazi Massafera received a nomination in the Best Actress category. She’s nominated for her performance in Globo TV’s Verdades Secretas (Hidden Truths).
In all, Brazil leads the pack with seven nominations, including two nods in the Telenovela category for Nero and Massafera’s critically acclaimed melodramas.
