Emmys Creative Arts: Winners list
We're live blogging the Creative Arts Emmys, bringing you the winners as they are announced. Surprisingly, the producers are pushing this show along by interrupting winners with orchestra music to rush them off the stage after only 20 seconds of thank-you time. Hey, isn't this show supposed to be more laid-back than this? What's the rush?

Were the Emmy people drunk when they chose '24' music over 'LOST'?!?!
LOST has had the best musical score on TV in HISTORY!
They better not hand over best supporting actor award to anyone besides Micheal Emerson or O'Terry.

I am just ASTOUNDED that 24 (a score that is writhed with old and tired music tropes and repetition) won BEST SCORE over some of the best music ever produced for ANY medium? I was lucky enough to see Giachinno perform the Lost score at Lost Live this year, and it was one of the most moving performances I've ever witnessed. I can't believe a man that is so great at pulling the heart strings was beat by such a lazy score that sounds like it was written for a video game. This is just lunacy. Screw you, Emmys.

Who won Outstanding Art Direction for a Multi-Camera Series?
Posted by: Kurt | August 22, 2010 at 04:59 PM
Congrats to the writers @ The Colbert Report! Here's hoping TCR takes home best variety during the Big Show next weekend!

Don't you use spellcheck! Who typed this list? Best "cinematrophy" for a half hour series (Weeds) instead of cinematography? The winner deserves to have the category spelled correctly!
Posted by: Pam | August 22, 2010 at 10:37 AM
I love NPH, but Mike O'Malley for sure deserved the guest actor award.

What happened to true blood?
Posted by: susan rebert | August 22, 2010 at 09:09 AM
"Lost" losing to "24" for music score is maddness. Who even notices the music on "24"? "Lost" is the best television score ever, hands down.
Posted by: Kim | August 22, 2010 at 09:07 AM
Is this the first time "30 Rock" has been shut out of the Creative Emmys since it started? ..Interesting.
Posted by: Kristen | August 22, 2010 at 08:15 AM
Mr Oneill--while you were able to do a factual job on this piece, the reprehensible article you did on Ernest Borgnine's Sag Lifetime Achievement Award is shameful. You owe Mr. Borgnine and your readers an apology

Well done 24, Sean Callery is a god, top score.
Posted by: Scott | August 22, 2010 at 05:32 AM
Did CSI beat Breaking Bad for Cinematography? Darn, I guess they really don't have any change of winning best drama. sad face,
Posted by: stacy | August 21, 2010 at 11:02 PM
YES! NPH finally wins an Emmy. He's gonna have tough competition in best supporting actor in a comedy, though.
Posted by: Kaitlyn | August 21, 2010 at 10:35 PM
Congrats to Betty WHite and Mia Michaels!

Current mood: Bummed:( Elizabeth Mitchell should have won
Posted by: Steve | August 21, 2010 at 07:32 PM
Lost should have won for best score. The music, especially in the finale was fantastic.
Posted by: Abe | August 21, 2010 at 07:22 PM
Anybody know who won the two juried awards (Individual Achievement in Animation, and Costumes for a Variety Program)? These were handed out tonight, but presumably announced earlier (although neither emmys.tv nor emmys.com has them listed)
Posted by: That Don Guy | August 21, 2010 at 06:40 PM
I think you guys are missing...
Hairstyling for Single-Camera: Mad Men
Sound Editing for Series

Soooooooooo happy for Ann-Margret!!!
5th time's a charm.
And a standing ovation to boot.

The emmy voters must be on crack to give 24 best score over Lost.
So sad Elizabeth Mitchell didn't take home the Emmy.
Posted by: Brittany | August 21, 2010 at 06:26 PM
Sean Callery is a legend! Thank god 24 won best music score and not some show like lost
