The Creative Arts Emmys are always one of the most exciting parts of the Primetime Emmys ceremony, if only because you get to experience the thrill of realizing they handed out dozens of awards when nobody was paying attention, but the reason nobody’s paying attention is because they’re actually being handed out this weekend—a week before the big-time Emmys. That’s not to say the Creative Arts Emmys are any less big-time, they just… don’t have as many celebrities, or categories that the general public cares about. But awards are awards, and the wins this weekend are no less valid than the ones next weekend… you just don’t get to see them handed out live. Also, they’re handed out over the course of three small events, two of which are happening later today, rather than one big affair. (An edited version of the ceremonies will air on Saturday, September 18.)
One third of the Creative Arts Emmys were handed out last night, and there were already some big-name winners—including the first Emmys won by Marvel Studios, courtesy of WandaVision. The trippy superhero spin-off won Best Production Design For A Narrative Program and Best Fantasy Sci-fi costumes (two categories that it seemed to have a pretty good lock on, if only because it has movie-quality superhero scenery and period costumes from multiple generations). WandaVision was far from being the big winner yesterday, though, with Netflix’s The Queen’s Gambit getting seven Creative Arts Emmys, including awards for best production design, makeup, and costumes for a period show. People who give out awards love period stuff, that’s not new information.
Other winners include The Mandalorian, Pose, Ted Lasso, SNL, and last year’s Academy Awards ceremony. That particular award was for the show’s production design and not the actual Outstanding Variety Special award (which will be handed out later), so there’s really no reason to bring up how terribly that show fizzled out at the end. You can see a full list of the winners so far at Deadline, and more awards will be handed out later today (and then again after that).

Giving awards to awards shows seems wrong.
It does seem so circuitous that we risk getting no entertainment beyond award shows.
I look forward to the Emmys giving an Emmy for Best Award Show to the Emmy ceremony, and then instantly disappearing inside itself.
The Emmys have consistently made themselves ineligible.
I always thought it was weird when the Oscar telecast won Emmys. Seems like to make things fair, the Emmy telecast should be eligible for the Oscars.
Award show recursion — argh!
And the award for bets award given to an award show goes to…
I was going to say the same thing. It always seems…. suspicious, somehow.
Why? They’re not easy things to do well, and there’s a lot of people that put a lot of effort into them.
I wish this part of the awards was covered more (not just here, I appreciate the write-up) because I find these aspects in the fun and TV industry really interesting and what makes the ‘magic’ happen. Actors? Sure, they’re obviously important, but for whatever reason something like good set design is more interesting to me.
Nevermind
I regret to inform you that you’ve just been sued by Spencer Elden.
They love giving Emmys to shitty shows that morons watch.
Kevin Feige being flown to the floating prison where they store all the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark stuff to try and complete Marvel’s EGOT.
An Emmy-winning costume, ladies and gentlemen.
Hey – re-imagining Vision’s comic look as a drug-store Halloween Luchador costume was inspired.
That guy wearing a hoodie and a traffic cone
You laugh, but when I saw this shot in the trailer, I immediately thought “oh god it’s 2006″. That show really captured the essence of its decades.
There’s should be specific award show for giving out awards to award shows.
An award show award show, if you will.Then an award show award show award show, etc.
I stopped taking the Emmys, the Grammys and the Oscars seriously a long time ago.Metallica winning a Grammy for St Anger was probably my boiling point.
St Anger absolutely deserved a Grammy.This is not intended as praise for St Anger.
Was that before or after Milli Vanilli won a Grammy?
