Television Academy
The 75th annual Emmy Awards, in the form of the two-night Creative Arts Emmy Awards, kick off this weekend at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, opening the door to a month of high praise.
Saturday’s creative arts ceremony largely features scripted awards that were not handed out on Monday, January 15, during the Primetime Emmys telecast on Fox, with Sunday devoted almost exclusively to reality and nonfiction.
The Creative Arts Celebrations edited presentation will air Saturday, January 13 at 8pm ET/PT on FXX.
There are some interesting fights to keep an eye on this weekend as well as a few notable potential winners. However, what wasn’t handed out was the award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, which received a last-minute deferral from the Television Academy and was moved to primetime after a campaign by the WGA (and the threat of charges against the heckler).
Saturday’s top prizes include guest actor, outstanding television movie and music supervision spots. On the last, Weird things He’s looking for a winning streak after that Kate Bush moment, but he’s up against ’70s rock Daisy Jones and the Six; The wonderful Mrs. MaiselWhich won for three consecutive years between 2018-2020; Ted Lasso; And White lotus.
As for the awards for guest actor and actress, in drama and comedy, there are some big names including Jon Bernthal The bearNathan Lane L Murders only in the buildingJudith Light L poker faceTaraji P. Henson L Abbott Elementary And a large number of faces from Succession And The last of us Including James Cromwell, Hiam Abbass, Cherry Jones, Harriet Walter, and Ariane Moayed for the Jesse Armstrong drama, and Murray Bartlett, Nick Offerman, Kevon Woodard, Melanie Lynskey, Storm Reed, and Anna Torv for the video game adaptation.
Watch out if Woodard wins because he will become the first deaf actor to win an Emmy and also the youngest actor to ever do so.
Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas, Fire Island, Hocus Pocus 2, Prey And Stranger: The Yankovic Story They are competing for best television movie.
The night also includes the major casting awards, which are usually a good barometer for who will win acting awards at the Primetime Emmys, as well as awards for cinematography, editing, sound, hair, makeup and visual effects.
On Sunday, it was reality TV’s turn.
Jimmy Fallon is up for Best Game Show, the first time that award has come out of Daytime, while Scandoval could help Vanderpump Rules First Emmy ever.
Mayim Bialik Nominated for Outstanding Game Show Host for Game Show – Danger! – from which she was recently fired, RuPaul looks to continue his winning streak, and Stanley Tucci competes against Michelle Obama and Oprah in the hosted reality series category.
Speaking of the Obamas, President Barack Obama may win for the second year in a row in a different show, this time for Work: What we do all day. Additionally, Kid Cudi is looking for a win in animation and Tim Robinson is competing with James Corden for Outstanding Miniseries Comedy, Drama or Variety.
There are also two main documentary awards for series and special programs featuring the likes of Dear Mama, 100 Foot Wave, 1619 Project, Being Mary Tyler Moore And docs about Judy Blume, Pamela Anderson, and Michael J. Fox.
Finally, Norman Lear can add to his Emmy tally posthumously as ABC Norman Lear: 100 Years of Music and Laughter He faces the likes of Carol Burnett, John Mulaney, Lizzo, Trevor Noah, and Wanda Sykes.
