Ceremony information

edit
 
Carlos Mencia served as host for the ceremony.

The 59th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards were executive produced by Lee Miller and John Moffitt, produced by Spike Jones Jr. through his company SJ2 Entertainment, and directed by Chris Donovan.[15][16] Comedian Carlos Mencia was announced as the host in August.[17] Nominations were announced on July 19, a week later than usual due to changes in voting rules.[18] The awards were presented on September 8 in a four-hour ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, which was then edited into a two-hour broadcast shown on E! on September 15, the day before the main ceremony on Fox.[19][20]

Major rule changes for this year's Creative Arts categories included:

Notes

edit
  1. ^ The outlets listed for each program are the U.S. broadcasters or streaming services identified in the nominations, which for some international productions are different than the broadcaster(s) that originally commissioned the program.
  2. ^
    • Area awards are non-competitive and nominees are considered on their own terms. Any nominee with at least two-thirds approval received an Emmy. If no nominee received two-thirds approval, the nominee with the highest approval (and a minimum majority approval) received an Emmy.[1]
    • Juried awards generally do not have nominations; instead, all entrants were screened before members of the appropriate peer group, and one, more than one, or no entry was awarded an Emmy based on the jury's vote.[1]
  3. ^ Finalists were announced for this juried category; they are not considered to be nominees.[4]
  4. ^ While Drive was broadcast on Fox, the relevant effects were released online because the series was cancelled before reaching the six-episode eligibility requirement. As a result, this nomination was the first broadband nominee at the Emmys. This also led to its nomination as a special, not a series.[6]
  5. ^ a b c Including the Governors Award
