The highlight of Sunday’s Day 2 of the 2018 Creative Arts Emmys was undoubtedly the triple EGOT achievement of John Legend, Tim Rice, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, awarded for their work on NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert. JC Superstar and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown each won five awards, with the late Bourdain taking home the prize for Outstanding Writing for a Non-Fiction Program.

Meanwhile, RuPaul’s Drag Race and its eponymous host, RuPaul Charles, also took home multiple awards, including his third Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program award. Queer Eye snagged Outstanding Structured Reality Program and (no surprise here) Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program, while United Shades of America With W. Kamau Bell took Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program. Netflix’s Wild Wild Country won Outstanding Documentary, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver took home Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series, and for the rest, you’ll have to check our full Sunday-night Creative Arts Emmy winner list below.
