Candelabra’s haul was twice that of any other show. Boardwalk Empire and the 66th Annual Tony Awards followed with four Emmys apiece. Next with three awards were Saturday Night Live, (which received its first kudo for art direction), Mea Maxa Culpa: Silence in the House of God and Disney Mickey Mouse Croissant de Triomphe.
The Creative Arts Emmys were initiated to give recognition to the nominees in numerous technical, craft and animation categories that had been glossed over in the regular Primetime Emmys because of time constraints. Yesterday’s awards ceremony ran for nearly four hours, and that was without commercial breaks and with “thank you” speeches largely kept to less than a minute. A version edited down to two hours will be on the new FXX cable channel Saturday, the evening before the full-dress Primetime Emmy Awards take place Sept. 22.
There was also a first in the history of the awards when House of Cards — a show that was not available on the airwaves or on cable, but streamed on the Internet by Netflix, which also produced it – won two Emmys for best casting for a drama and to director of photography Eigil Bryld for outstanding cinematography for a single-camera series.
One of the largest group of winners was the cinematography team for Deadliest Catch led by director of photography Cameron Glendenning. The show captures real life experiences aboard fishing vessels in the Bering Sea, and the title refers to the dangers involved. “It’s always precarious,” Glendenning said. “If we’re not taking risks, we’re not doing our job well enough. That’s one of our mottos, but it’s rewarding.” And now they have been rewarded with individual Emmys.
When producer Jerry Weintraub was asked whether Candelabra’s awards momentum would lead to more Emmys next week, he declined to make a prediction. Instead he praised the award-winning contributions of the crew. “It was extraordinary because of the people who worked on the show and are being recognized tonight and those are the people who do all the work and I’m very happy for all of them.”
Ellen Mirojnick who won an Emmy for her costumes for Candelabra said she got to see all of the Liberace’s outfits. “We were able to examine each and every piece he ever put on during his final 25 years thanks to Jerry Weintraub who got us complete access to Liberace’s foundation and archive,” she noted. “But we didn’t copy anything but used them as inspiration because the costumes for the film have a different aesthetic.”
