Fourth Night Continues Scripted Programming Emmys
The fourth consecutive night of the 72nd Creative Arts Emmy Awards continued with more scripted programming categories, honoring a mix of talented, above the line artists and below the line technical craftspeople from a wide variety and blend of genres. Emmy-nominee and event host Nicole Byer took us for a ride for part two of the scripted programming categories on Thursday, September 17, 2020 on emmys.com. A total of 23 awards were dispersed on Night Four with a continued focus on scripted shows.
Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. began Night Four with the casting and short form categories. Lisa Parasyn and Jon Comerford won the Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series for Schitt’s Creek. Succession landed the Outstanding Casting for Drama Series for Avy Kaufman and Francine Maisler, and the Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series went to Better Call Saul Employee Training: Legal Ethics with Kim Wexler.
Wanda Sykes appeared for a quick hand-off of the Outstanding Short Form Animated Program Emmy to the Disney+ and Pixar Animation Studios short Forky Asks A Question: What Is Love?
The third presenter of the evening, comedian Gabriel Iglesias (Mr. Iglesias), called out the interactive genres. Netflix’s Big Mouth Guide To Life was presented with the Outstanding Derivative Interactive Program, while Outstanding Original Interactive Program was granted to The Messy Truth VR Experience with Brie Larson attached as one of the producers.
Erin Moriarty (The Boys) kept the notes playing with the music supervision and composition tones. The Outstanding Music Supervision was awarded to Music Supervisors Robin Urdang, Amy Sherman-Palladino, and Daniel Palladino for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel episode, “It’s Comedy or Cabbage.” Watchmen scored another Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited Series, Movie or Special (Original Dramatic Score) on the episode “It’s Summer And We’re Running Out Of Ice” by Composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
The juried awards were allocated between Cheryl Burke and Monica Aldama. Choreographer Mandy Moore was gifted with the first jury honor for Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming for Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist in “Routines: All I Do Is Win, I’ve Got the Music in Me, Crazy.” The Outstanding Innovation in Interactive Programming was granted to HITRECORD’s Create Together with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Sam Wasserman at the helm and Oculus’s The Line from ARVORE Immersive Experiences also winning. The Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation were bestowed to five spectacular animators, Lead Background artist Jill Dykxhoorn for Archer and Character Animator Dan MacKenzie on Cosmos: Possible Worlds; along with Storyboard Artist Genndy Tartakovsky, Art Director Scott Wills, and Character Designer Stephen DeStefano, all coming from the animated Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal. The final juried award of Outstanding Motion Design was offered to Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates.
Jeff Bridges hummed to the beat of the music, lyrics, and main title themes. The song “All For Us” from musical artist Labrinth in Euphoria’s “And Salt The Earth Behind You” episode grabbed the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics trophy, and the Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music went to composer Nathan Barr on Hollywood.
The eighth presenter of the evening was Dylan McDermott (Hollywood), as he handed out the Emmys in the stunt coordination and voice-over fields. Stunt Coordinator Eddie Perez earned his way to the Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy or Variety Program for the action sequences done in Shameless. The Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance was presented to Maya Rudolph as Connie the Hormone Monstress in Big Mouth’s episode “How To Have An Orgasm.”
Lamorne Morris (New Girl) concluded Night Four of the scripted programming series with the short form acting categories. Quibi’s #FreeRayshawn captured both the performance trophies in Outstanding Actor and Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for Laurence Fishburne as Lt. Steven Poincy and Jasmine Cephas Jones as Tyisha
