Maniacally Obsessing over the 2018 Creative Arts Emmy Categories

This week, the Water Cooler gang looks at major races within the 2018 Creative Arts Emmy categories. Plus, is it too early to start talking about the 2019 Limited Series race? (Answer: No)

We’re returning to the 2018 Emmy cycle this week. Two weeks ago, we looked at some of our favorite categories – Main Title Theme and Main Title Design. This week, we look at a host of categories within the below-the-line 2018 Creative Arts Emmy categories. We predict Variety Special (Live), Drama, Comedy, and Limited Series Casting, Cinematography, Costumes, Reality Show Hosting, and Production Design. Looking at these categories sometimes gives Emmy watchers a hint at what could dominate in the main categories. Plus, we take a quick look at this weekend’s TCA award winners. 

But first on TV Tidbits, we take a look at next year’s Limited Series races with the launch of Netflix’s Maniactrailer. With only American Horror Story: Apocalypse on the radar, no Ryan Murphy production is likely to dominate. So what will? Also, we report out on some recent films we’ve seen including Eighth Grade, Mission Impossible: Fallout, and Christopher Robin.

We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
