Please Like Me is up against three other nominees — from South Africa, Brazil and Belgium — in the Comedy category.
Thomas will find out if his show will get a gong when the winner is announced at a black-tie ceremony for the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in New York on November 24.
There were 40 nominees in 10 categories announced at the MIPCOM entertainment market in Cannes, France.
The nominations spanned 19 countries.
