Disney+’s The Mandalorian and HBO’s Watchmen are the big winners of the evening throughout the third night of the virtual 2020 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
Tonight the Television Academy honored the work of editors, sound designers, costume designers, cinematographers, production designers, makeup artists, and the visual effects teams behind some of the year’s best work in scripted programming.
By far the biggest winner of the night was Disney+’s The Mandalorian. The Star Wars show took home five Emmys for cinematography, production design, sound editing, sound mixing, and visual effects. This is a huge haul for the new network, especially for a show that some didn’t anticipate to be so strongly situated in the Emmy conversation. This is also a huge boost for The Mandalorian as it heads into its second season this fall with a trailer that debuted this week. Could we be getting ready for an even bigger sophomore season?
Watchmen also had a great night winning its first four awards for costumes, cinematography, editing, and sound mixing. The HBO limited series is nominated for a whopping 26 Emmys and will surely bring home more awards over the next couple of nights. Currently John Adams holds the record for most awarded limited series at 13 – how close can Watchmen get and can it even break the record?
Other than that no other show was able to win more than one award. Some of the other winners throughout the night included Emmy favorites like The Crown, Stranger Things, The Handmaid’s Tale, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Succession was also able to overcome vote splitting and beat out its major drama series competitors in the picture editing category. Is that a sign of a good night to come for the Roy family on Sunday?
