Creative Arts Emmy Award

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards are a subset of the larger Emmy Awards, recognizing excellence in behind-the-scenes production categories for television. These awards honor technical and artistic achievements such as animation, editing, makeup, visual effects, sound, and design that support and enhance TV programming. Typically held before the main Emmy ceremony, they celebrate the craftsmanship that contributes to television's overall quality and creativity. While not awarded for on-screen performances, they acknowledge the vital work of professionals who help bring TV shows and specials to life.
