Full List of Creative Arts Emmy Winners: Who's Up & Who's Down?

By: Christopher James

The most wins from the ceremonies were “Adele: One Night Only,” “The Beatles: Get Back,” “The White Lotus,” “Stranger Things” and “Euphoria,” all with five wins.

This weekend, the Creative Arts Emmys handed out 93 awards over two nights. Many exciting categories produced great winners, ranging from former President Barack Obama to a posthumous award for Chadwick Boseman. There is so much talent in the TV industry and it’s always fascinating to scroll through all the winners in each category (even if the classifications aren’t always as uniform as us awards show fans would like).

On top of that, one can also use these races to help predict what will happen during the Primetime Emmy Awards. It’s not a one-for-one match that whoever wins the most Creative Arts Emmys will win Drama or Comedy Series. However, it does provide a good barometer of how the race is shaping up heading into the final stretch. The Primetime Emmy Awards airs next Monday, September 12th at 8pm EST/5pm PST on NBC, while also streaming on Peacock. Let’s look at who’s up and who’s down following this weekend’s awards...

2022 Emmy Category Analysis: Drama Guest Acting Categories

by Christopher James

"Succession" added an Emmy winner and an Oscar winner to its cast this year. Will it pay off with a Guest Actor Emmy win?

It’s no secret that the Guest Acting categories often reward big names and buzzy actors, rather than actual performances. The awards can often go to beloved actors, even if they only appear in one or two moments of their submission. Take for example wins for Margo Martindale (The Americans) and Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us) for seasons and episodes that are far from their best work. While past years have trended towards the biggest names possible, this year’s crop doesn’t necessarily skew towards major celebrities. Instead, it’s more consolidated around a small number of shows. Only five shows make up all twelve slots (the same number as in the Comedy Guest Acting races).

Succession fever has swept the guest acting drama categories. The HBO drama makes up seven of the twelve possible guest acting slots, or nearly 60% of the honors. Does this mean the show is unbeatable or could this pave the way for an underdog prevailing?

April Foolish Pt 5 - Who will be our new 'Best Actor'?

by Nathaniel R

Hmmmm. Could Hugh Jackman pick up another Tony and the Oscar in the next 10 months?

Which actor will pull an Andrew Garfield this year and get the internet excited about his work with renewed passion? Which actor will pull a Benedict Cumberbatch and become the year's critical darling only to lose the statue? Which actor will pull a Will Smith and be the slam dunk winner due to a well liked performance and his entire career beforehand? We can't possibly know yet but we can speculate about it. So let's do that.

Internet Passions? My crystal ball says either Austin Butler (Elvis), Colin Farrell (Banshees of Inisherin), or Brendan Fraser (The Whale)

Critical Darling? Hmmm. Adam Driver (White Noise), Viggo Mortensen (Crimes of the Future), or Colman Domingo (Rustin)

"It's Time" Career Win Possibilities? Hugh Jackman (The Son), Colin Farrell or Brendan Gleeson (Banshees of Inisherin), Adam Driver (White Noise)

OKAY DRUMROLL PLEASE... AND THE PREDICTIVE 5 ARE...
