The 69th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards held in two phases on the 9th and 10th of September at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
The first half of the Awards which took place on Saturday night mainly honored achievements in animation, nonfiction/reality programming, and special presentations.
Months after losing the Oscar to O.J: Made in America, Ava DuVernay’s 13th enjoyed a big night indeed by picking up 12 trophies for writing, music and lyrics, motion design, and an Outstanding Documentary.
Other multi-winners included Born This Way and Planet Earth II, while Seth MacFarlane (voice-over performance), RuPaul Charles (reality-show host), Carpool Karaoke (variety special), and Shark Tank (structured reality program) all repeated in their respective categories. Oh, and Meryl Streep won an Emmy for narration!
