David Beckham accepted an Emmy Award for his Netflix documentary series via video call, while producers called him during the ceremony in LA.
The 49-year-old former footballer and his 50-year-old wife Victoria were nominated in no fewer than five categories for the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham: What Makes David Run.
At the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on Saturday, the docuseries won the award in the Documentary or Nonfiction Series category.
The award was accepted by producer Fisher Stevens, who would call the footballer during the celebration to inform him of the success.
In a clip shared to the Emmys’ Instagram account, a crowd of people crowded around Fisher as he called David to tell him about his win.

“Okay David,” the actor and producer shouted as he delivered the news.
“Unbelievable,” David replied as the camera rolled and it appeared on the screen, to which Fisher said, “We miss you brother, we miss you.”
David expressed his disappointment that he couldn’t be there, as he promised he and Fisher would celebrate in a few weeks.
“Thank you very much to the family, congratulations,” Fisher added, before the footballer and producer said goodbye.
The series provided an unprecedented insight into David’s career and a glimpse into the beginning of their romance and marriage.
The four-part series was nominated for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series at the 2024 Emmy Awards, alongside Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV, STAX: Soulsville USA Telemarketers and The Jinx – Part Two.
The film was also nominated for Best Cinematography for a Nonfiction Program, Best Direction for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program, Best Picture Editing and Best Music Composition.

Last month it was revealed that Victoria is now filming a revealing documentary about her fashion brand, after signing a major deal with Netflix.
The 50-year-old Spice Girl gives the streamer an insight into her working life following the success of her husband David’s docuseries BECKHAM.
In the documentary, the beloved mother delves deeper into her fashion brand and follows her journey as she prepares for next year’s Paris Fashion Week.
