The second night of the Creative Arts Emmys will take place on Sunday night, where hot races such as guest acting, music and stunts will be revealed.

History could be made with “Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers” from Disney+ could be the first animated movie to win for outstanding television movie, after becoming the first ever to be nominated.

However, we could see if HBO will be in line to make history if it takes the category for Barry Levinson’s “The Survivor.” HBO is able to win all the top series categories for drama (“Succession”), comedy (“Barry” or “Hacks”) and limited (“The White Lotus”). It would be the first network in history to win all four if achieved.

The guest categories are going to give some hints to the Primetime ceremony taking place on Monday, Sept. 12. We could see Nathan Lane win his long overdue Emmy for his role in “Only Murders in the Building,” alongside his co-star Jane Lynch, a multiple-time winner. The Hulu mystery series is projected to be the big winner of the evening with six wins, with two or more additional.

Netflix is forecast to be the overall network winner with “Squid Game” and “Stranger Things,” each predicted to win four apiece.

Let’s not forget the Zendaya of it all, as she’s predicted to win one of her four total nominations this year for co-writing “I’m Tired” with Labrinth and Sam Levinson.

The final predictions for the Creative Arts Emmys Night Two are below.
