Creative Arts Emmys Winners Include The Studio, The Penguin, and Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews, at 89, snagged her third Emmy Award at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, with ”The Studio” and ”The Penguin” also clinching multiple wins heading into the main Emmys event next weekend. Andrews scored the best character voice-over performance for her role in Netflix’s ”Bridgerton,” marking her first Emmy victory since 2005. On the other hand, ”The Studio,” a satirical show from Apple TV+, swept up accolades in categories like cinematography, production design, and casting. The winners humorously thanked Sal Saperstein, a nod to a character from the show, adding a fun touch to their acceptance speeches.

Adam Newport-Berra, who won for cinematography on ”The Studio,” showcased his skills in bringing the show’s comedic elements to life. His work on the meta episode ”The Oner,” where a single shot is the focus, truly captured the essence of the show. Meanwhile, ”Adolescence,” a one-shot per episode series on Netflix, also shone with its cinematography win in the limited series category.

HBO’s ”The Penguin” was the star of the night, dominating the limited series section with eight wins, including prosthetic makeup and visual effects. Disney+’s ”Andor,” part of the ”Star Wars” universe, triumphed in the drama categories with four wins. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, a precursor to the main Primetime Emmy Awards, featured nearly 100 awards across two nights.

In the guest acting categories, Julianne Nicholson and Bryan Cranston added star power to the event. Nicholson seized her first Emmy for best guest actress in a comedy for her role in HBO Max’s ”Hacks,” showcasing her versatility in a comedic role. Cranston, a seasoned Emmy winner from his days on ”Breaking Bad,” clinched his seventh Emmy for his guest appearance in ”The Studio.”

Overall, the Creative Arts Emmys set the stage for the upcoming main ceremony, hinting at a diverse range of contenders and potential winners.
