Just as the 2023 Primetime EMMYs were delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes so were the Creative Arts EMMYs that annually precede them.
After much anticipation, however, the latter’s two-night ceremony commenced Saturday (January 6) to toast the artistic and technical achievements in TV’s animated, reality, variety, short-form, documentary series, and specials genres.
Ahead of the show’s 75th annual edition airing on FXX on January 13, the first night’s winners have been revealed.
See them inside.
