After months of anticipation, not to mention several ups and downs in the industry, Creative Arts Emmy Winners were announced this past weekend. Several hit shows, such as The Last of Us, Beef, and The Bear, were celebrated for their technical merits.
There’s a long list of winners, which we’ve condensed a bit at Below the Line, but we are happy to celebrate and share.
We spoke with many of the nominees and winners throughout the awards season. They embodied nothing but passion for the craft. Awards shows, such as the Creative Arts Emmy, remain paramount for such artists. They deserve the accolades and more for their tireless work behind-the-scenes.
