The first of two nights for the Creative Arts Emmy Awards occurred on Saturday, and, as the avid TV watchers we know you all are, you definitely want to scroll category-by-category for five minutes and thoroughly analyze every winner. James Corden’s well-oiled Carpool Karaoke machine took home three awards, including Outstanding Variety Special, while Queer Eye was awarded with four, culminating in Outstanding Structured Reality Program. Saturday Night Live (three wins), RuPaul’s Drag Race (three wins), and Free Solo (seven wins) also faired well, as did national treasures Rachel Bloom and Norman Lear.
As for Sunday’s winners, Game of Thrones dominated the evening, taking home awards from Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series to Outstanding Main Title Sequence. Luke Kirby and Jane Lynch won Outstanding Guest Actor and Actress in a Comedy Series, respectively, for their turns in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, while Outstanding Guest Actor and Actress in a Drama Series went to Bradley Whitford and Cherry Jones for The Handmaid’s Tale. And yes, Chernobyl won for that incredible score. You can read the full list of Creative Arts Emmy winners, which we will continue to flesh out as Sunday’s awards roll in, below.
