Creative Arts Emmy Winners, our pre-Emmy Podcast and Emmy Confidential at ADTV

Creative Arts Emmy Award Winners

This year, the Television Academy split the below-the-line categories into two Creative Arts Emmy shows. It’s a nice touch, really, as it gives those winners the opportunity to relish the win a little more than the traditional cramming of all 70+ categories into a single night. Night one saw Game of Thrones top last year’s Creative Arts haul with 9 wins, followed closely by The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story‘s four wins. Night two had a tie for most wins between Netflix’s Making a Murderer and Fox/Paramount TV’s Grease: Live! – each with four. (Night One, Night Two)

Podcast: Let’s Get Creative with the Emmys!

The Emmys are almost upon us, and you know what that means. Trophies for everyone and their mother for their work on whatever show they worked on! After this weekend’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards, the three M’s talk about whether top winners like Game of Thrones and The People v. O.J. Simpson will definitely dominate the ceremony next Sunday (come on, we know they will…). Will the ceremony be boring, or there enough potential surprises to change it up? We then take a dive into the final predictions before the Emmy Awards next Sunday–the Drama Series categories. (Podcast)

Emmy Confidential: The Publicist

This is the first in our 2016 Emmy Confidential series. Posting this week, the Emmy Confidential series allows Emmy voters the opportunity to anonymously discuss what they voted for and why in four major Emmy categories. Our first Emmy voter is a Publicist who worked on the 2016 awards campaign for a now Emmy-winning major player in the Emmy race. The Publicist’s biggest Emmy wish this year is that Rachel Bloom win anything and everything for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a show applauded by our Emmy voter for its ethnic and sexual diversity.
