Ceremony order and presenters
[edit]The following categories were presented at each ceremony:[7]
Ceremony information
[edit]The nominations for the 73rd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards were announced on July 13, 2021, by Ron and Jasmine Cephas Jones via a virtual event.[11][12] On July 21, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, also known as the Television Academy, revealed that the Creative Arts Emmys would be presented in two ceremonies on Saturday, September 11, and Sunday, September 12; the previous year's ceremonies had been spread out over five days due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The two ceremonies were scheduled to be held at the Microsoft Theater.[13] On July 30, the event was split into three ceremonies scheduled for Saturday evening, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday evening.[14] The combined ceremonies aired in an edited two-hour broadcast on September 18 on FXX.[14][15]
On August 10, the ceremonies were moved to the indoor-outdoor Event Deck at L.A. Live due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns. Additionally, the Television Academy announced that nominated teams would be limited to four tickets per nomination.[16] Despite the changes, producer Bob Bain sought to create an event that closely resembled pre-pandemic ceremonies "in terms of energy" while still making changes as needed. Unlike previous ceremonies, audiences were seated at tables, similar to the Golden Globe Awards or Critics' Choice Awards, while the shift from the traditional two ceremonies to three allowed the event to have better pacing, according to Bain. The event did not have a host; instead, each ceremony used a "show opener" to kick off the event, then relied on presenters to keep the ceremony moving.[17] To minimize COVID-19 risks, winners received their trophies on a separate stage from the presenters, and microphones were wiped down between speeches.[18] Attendees were also required to show proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test before the event.[17]
Category and rule changes
[edit]Several changes that were implemented for these ceremonies include:[19][20][21]
- Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series and Outstanding Short Form Variety Series were merged to form Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series.
- Outstanding Derivative Interactive Program, Outstanding Original Interactive Program, and Outstanding Interactive Extension of a Linear Program were merged to form Outstanding Interactive Program.
- Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy Series or Variety Program and Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Drama Series, Limited Series, or Movie were merged to form Outstanding Stunt Coordination, and a new category for Outstanding Stunt Performance was created.
- Outstanding Special Visual Effects and Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role were reorganized to form Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season or a Movie and Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Single Episode.
- Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming became a juried award.
- Outstanding Period and/or Character Hairstyling and Outstanding Period and/or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic) became area awards.
- Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming was modified to allow nominations.
- Anthology series became eligible in the limited series categories, which were renamed accordingly.
- Any programs that were nominated for Academy Awards, as well as any non-documentary programs that were placed on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences viewing platform, were no longer eligible for Emmys.
- All children's programming was moved to the Daytime Emmy Awards, run by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
In addition, the awards for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) were moved to the main ceremony in July,[22] followed by the awards for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series and Outstanding Variety Special (Live) in August.[23][24]
Notes
[edit]- ^ The outlets listed for each program are the U.S. broadcasters or streaming services identified in the nominations, which for some international productions are different than the broadcaster(s) that originally commissioned the program.
- ^
- Area awards are non-competitive; any nominee with at least 90% approval received an Emmy. If no nominee received 90% approval, the nominee with the highest approval received an Emmy; for area awards in picture editing and sound, there was an additional requirement that the highest-rated nominee must have at least 50% approval.[2]
- Juried awards generally do not have nominations; instead, all entrants were screened before members of the appropriate peer group, and one, more than one, or no entry was awarded an Emmy based on the jury's vote.[2]
- ^ a b Parent company WarnerMedia combined HBO and HBO Max as a single platform for the purposes of counting nominations.[5][6]
