The Creative Arts Emmy awards were held over the past two nights, as usual, a week before Emmy night, since there are FAR too many technical awards for television to hand out in a single ceremony. If you’re trying to read tea leaves here, I would say that it bodes extremely well for The White Lotus next week, as it seems to be cleaning up over Dopesick as its major competition. It was the favorite anyway, but that might not bode well for my predicting Jennifer Coolidge to be upset by Kaitlyn Dever. Euphoria, interestingly, did very well over Succession, which won casting but nothing else. I still think Succession is the easy favorite in drama, but comedy is extremely competitive, as Ted Lasso won zero technical Emmys this weekend, while Abbott Elementary, Barry, Hacks and Only Murders all won some stuff. But Ted may still have the broad support needed to come out ahead with most of these races split between so many shows. And Adele: One Night Only and The Beatles: Get Back all went 5 for 5 in their respective categories, so good for them.
