The 77th Emmy Awards ceremony won’t take place until Sept. 14, but winners in nine juried categories — including animation, costume, emerging media programming and motion design — were announced Tuesday by The Television Academy.
Tuesday’s winners will be presented with their trophies during the Creative Arts Emmy Awards that will be held over two nights at the Peacock Theater on Sept. 6 and 7, when bulk of this year’s Emmys will be handed out.
The Creative Arts Emmys are mainly in technical categories such as picture editing, costuming, hairstyling, makeup and sound, but also include awards for guest acting. An edited broadcast of the Creative Arts Emmys will air Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. PT on FXX.
The main event — the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards — will take place Sept. 14, also at the Peacock Theater, and be hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze. The show will air at 5 p.m. PT on CBS and stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
“Severance,” with 27 nods, led the way when the Emmy nominations were announced last month, followed by “The Penguin” with 24 and “The Studio” and “The White Lotus” with 23 each.
The juried category winners announced Tuesday emerged from screenings by panels of professionals in each particular area in a one-step evaluation and voting procedure.
