Creative Arts Emmys: ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Leads Night 2 Winners

The Creative Arts Emmys returned for a second night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angees on Sunday, with FX’s reality series “Welcome to Wrexham” leading all programs with five wins. Its Emmys included Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program.

“Queer Eye” won the award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program, while “Jeopardy!” won the Outstanding Game Show Emmy in that category’s move from the Daytime Emmys to Primetime Emmys.

The Netflix show “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson” took home short-form series honors in the first award of the night. Robinson won the leading actor short-form category on Saturday night night for his irreverent series. “Succession: Controlling the Narrative” won in the Outstanding Short Form Nonfiction or Reality Series category.

RuPaul earned a record-setting eighth consecutive win for outstanding reality host, adding to his kudos as the Black artist awarded the most Emmys in history.

Barack Obama (already being touted as an Oscar favorite for producing the documentary “American Symphony“) picked up his second consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Narrator, this time for Netflix’s “Working: What We Do All Day.”

John Mulaney picked up a third career Emmy for his soul-baring stand-up special “Baby J,” which chronicled his arduous attempts to get sober.

AppleTV+’s revealing documentary “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie” picked up four Emmys, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special and a directing prize for Oscar-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, and is also among the titles on this year’s documentary Oscar shortlists.

“The Simpsons” once again picked up the Outstanding Animated Program award, bringing its decades-long haul to 37 total wins. Maya Rudolph won her third Emmy for her voicework on Netflix’s “Big Mouth,” bringing her career total to five trophies.

Derek Hough picked up his fourth Emmy as a choreographer for “Dancing with the Stars” while the show picked two additional statues for technical elements. ABC also had a good showing with “Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration,”  which picked up two trophies, as well as “Jeopardy!”

Saturday night’s event saw HBO’s “The Last of Us” nabbing eight Emmys, more than any other show. When the two nights of Creative Arts are combined, “The Last of Us” remains the most-honored show with its eight wins, followed by “Welcome to Wrexham” with five and “The Bear,” “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” “Wednesday” and “The White Lotus” with four.

Overall, HBO Max led all networks or platforms with 22 Creative Arts wins, followed by Netflix with 16, FX with 10, Apple TV+ with nine and Disney+ with eight.

An edited version of the two evenings will air on January 13 on FXX. The 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air live on Fox on January 15 at 8 p.m. ET.
