After a suspenseful wait, the 2023 Emmy Awards winners have finally been revealed, and the Creative Arts Emmys kicked off the celebrations with a bang. The delayed but highly anticipated ceremony unfolded on January 6, showcasing the excellence in scripted programming, with animated and non-scripted programming winners to be announced on January 7 at 8 p.m. ET.
This Emmy Awards season has been a unique journey, with nominees like The White Lotus making the cut despite its last airing in December 2022. Other standout contenders include Wednesday, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and Welcome to Chippendales, alongside recent hits like Poker Face.
The Creative Arts Emmys are a significant precursor to the Primetime Emmy Awards, offering insights into potential sweeps. This season boasted critical darlings, from The Last of Us premiere to the final seasons of beloved shows like Succession, Barry, Ted Lasso, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Peacock made a mark by securing its first Primetime Emmy Award, with Judith Light winning Outstanding Guest Actress on a Comedy Series for Poker Face. The Roku Channel also celebrated its first Emmy for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, which took home Outstanding Television Movie. Notably, The Bear, The White Lotus, and BEEF clinched Outstanding Casting in their respective categories.
Tim Robinson scored his second Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series Emmy for I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, while Ed Sheeran earned an Emmy for original music and lyrics for Ted Lasso, and Danny Elfman secured his third Emmy for the Wednesday main title theme.
The list of winners is extensive, covering various categories such as costumes, makeup, hair styling, and visual effects, with notable achievements from The Last of Us, Five Days at Memorial, Ms. Marvel, and many more.
