EmmyWatch: Results from the Creative Arts Ceremony

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards were handed out Saturday in a ceremony that will be edited and broadcast on FXX on September 19. The big news coming out of the awards is HBO’s Game of Thrones dominated with 8 wins, setting it up to break The West Wing‘s previous Emmy record of most wins in a single season of 9 trophies. GOT will at least tie next Sunday night at the Primetime ceremony if not break it outright. Will these wins translate into a Outstanding Drama Series win next week? Logic would say yes, but Mad Men may not down without a fight, I suspect.

Runner-up was FX’s American Horror Story: Freak Show with five wins. That’s to be expected given the lavish production values of the season. HBO was the clear network winner with GOT, Bessie, Going Clear, and The Jinx among others contributing to its significant haul of 29 trophies.

Here is the complete list of winners. Be sure to check out our upcoming Water Cooler Podcast for commentary on tonight’s awards and our final Emmy predictions.
