Game of ThronesandThe Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Storyboth emerged with the most hardware after the 2018 Creative Arts Emmys. HBO’s fantasy mega-hit took home seven wins, whileRyan Murphy’s true-story take on the fashion icon’s murder ended the night with four.
Thronesnotably took home the incredibly niche Fantasy and Sci-Fi Costumes category, as well as an Original Dramatic Score statue for composerRamin Djawadi. The series also nabbed the awards for both Special Visual Effects and Stunt Coordination, unsurprising considering this was the season that an incredible CGI dragon set a bunch of stuntman on fire for real.
Fittingly,American Crime Storywon the Contemporary Costumes category, along with wins in both Hairstyling and Makeup for a Limited Series.
Elsewhere, Netflix’s glammed-up pro wrestling comedyGLOWtook home the prize for Stunt Coordination in a Comedy Series. The win for coordinatorShauna Dugginsmarks the first timeeverthat a woman topped the category.
In an interview earlier this year with theNew Yorker,Donald Glovermentioned he toldKatt Williams, “‘I’m going to attempt to get you an Emmy for [Atlanta].’ He said, ‘A’ight, we’ll see.'" I’ll be darned if Donald Glover didn’t call his shot, because Williams came out on top of the Guest Comedy Actor for his portrayal of Earn’s alligator-hoarding uncle inAtlanta. Over in the Guest Comedy Actress category,Tiffany Haddishwon a well-earned statue for her hosting stint onSaturday Night Live.
The episode ofDan Harmon’s stellarRick and Mortyfeaturing Pickle Rick—a phrase your least funny friend has said upward of 10,000 times—snagged the statue for Best Animated Program. In the most genuinely tragic news of the night,Megan Amram’sMegan Wins an Emmyfailed to win an Emmy, losing Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series toChristina Pickles(Break a Hip) and Outstanding Short-Form Comedy or Drama Series toJames Corden’s Next James Corden.
