2020 Creative Arts Emmy Awards Night Two WINNERS

Earlier this evening the Television Academy held their second virtual Creative Arts ceremony honoring the year’s best of variety and reality television.

In a case of deja vu plenty of this year’s winners were reminiscent of prior years. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Saturday Night Live were the biggest winners of the night both taking home three awards. RuPaul’s Drag Race also took home two more awards tonight bringing their 2020 tally to four Emmys. Also, Carpool Karaoke and Live in Front of a Studio Audience also won after taking home statues last year.

It was a night with few surprises, something that Emmy voters are notorious for. The biggest surprise of the night came when The Masked Singer won the Emmy for Outstanding Costumes for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Program. This marks the first Emmy for the Fox reality series and a welcome surprise for the over-the-top designs of the show.

Another cause for celebration is the fact that the win for Live in Front of a Studio Audience: “All in the Family” and “Good Times” means that Kerry Washington is finally an Emmy winner. Could this be the first of two heading into the main ceremony?

The second night of virtual awards also proved to be a welcome change to the Creative Arts format. In fifty minutes they were able to announce 16 winners celebrating everyone from writers and directors to makeup artists and technical directors.

Check out the full list of tonight’s winners below and sound off in the comments on what you think of the Emmys so far!
