Shōgun Shines Bright at Second Night of 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards
The epic FX drama set in feudal Japan leads the way with 14 awards, followed by another FX program, The Bear, with 7.
The Land of the Rising Sun rose to prodigious heights at the second night of the 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards with 14 awards for Shōgun, the epic FX drama about a struggle for power among warlords in 17th-century Japan. Another FX series, the restaurant comedy The Bear, followed with seven Emmys.
The Sunday Creative Arts show spotlighted scripted programming and included several performance categories. The Saturday ceremony focused primarily on crafts in reality, unscripted and documentary programming. Both were held at the Peacock Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles.

Shōgun, adapted from the sprawling 1975 novel by James Clavell, set the pace by winning the first award of the night, outstanding guest actor in a drama series, which went to Nestor Carbonell as the Spanish seaman Rodrigues.
It went on to prevail in the categories of casting for a drama series; period costumes for a series; period or fantasy sci-fi makeup (non-prosthetic); prosthetic makeup; period or fantasy/sci-fi hairstyling; stunt performance; production design for a narrative period or fantasy program (one hour or more); picture editing for a drama series; special visual effects in a season or a movie; main title design; sound editing for a comedy or drama series (one hour); sound mixing for a comedy or drama series (one hour); and cinematography for a series (one hour).
The Bear scored two performer awards: guest actress in a comedy for Jamie Lee Curtis for her performance as Donna Berzatto, matriarch of the volatile family at the program's center, and guest actor in a comedy for Jon Bernthal as Donna's late son, Michael Berzatto.
Its other wins came for casting for a comedy series; picture editing for a single-camera comedy series; picture editing for a single-camera comedy series; sound editing for a comedy or drama series (half-hour) and animation; and sound mixing for a comedy or drama series (half-hour) and animation.
Two programs tied with three Emmys each.
Ripley, the Netflix limited series adapted from novelist Patricia Highsmith's acclaimed psychological thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley, grabbed awards for cinematography for a limited or anthology series or movie for Robert Elswit's arresting black-and-white camerawork, as well as special visual effects in a single episode and sound editing for a limited or anthology series or movie or special.
Only Murders in the Building, the Hulu comedy starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, scored in the categories of production design for a narrative program (half-hour); music composition for a series (original dramatic score), which went to Siddhartha Khosla; and original music and lyrics, for the song "Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?," by the team of Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. With the latter honor, Pasek and Paul achieved EGOT status — the exclusive cadre of artists who have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.
