<p>Britain&#8217;s TV talent enjoyed a triumphant night at the International Emmys, walking off with half the main awards.</p>
<p>In a clean sweep for the BBC, Bob Hoskins and Helena Bonham Carter won the top acting prizes, while Jimmy McGovern&#8217;s The Street, drama Small Island and a children&#8217;s animation also came out on top.</p>
<p>There was also a special honorary award for X Factor supremo Simon Cowell &#8211; who was recognised for his talent show creations and charity work.</p>
<p>Hoskins took the best actor award for his role in last year&#8217;s series of The Street, when he played a recovering alcoholic pub owner whose morals lead him to stand up to the local gangster. The series itself was also named best drama.</p>
<p>Bonham Carter, currently starring in the latest Harry Potter film, carried off the best actress prize for the BBC biopic Enid, about the popular British children&#8217;s author Enid Blyton.</p>
<p>The corporation&#8217;s drama Small Island, based on Andrea Levy&#8217;s novel about the lives of Jamaican immigrants in London during and after the Second World War, was named best TV movie/mini-series.</p>
<p>The other British winner was CBBC animation Shaun The Sheep, in the Children and Young People category.</p>
<p>Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Jason Priestley hosted the ceremony in New York, which honours excellence in TV programming outside the US.</p>
<p>Cowell, who left his hit American Idol show earlier this year to launch an American version of X Factor, received the International Emmy Founders Award, which recognises &#8220;significant achievements in television that cross cultural boundaries and contribute to our common humanity&#8221;.</p>
<p>Thirty-nine nominees from 15 countries were contending in the 10 competitive categories for the prizes.</p>
