With the 2021 Emmys season coming to a close, the Awards Daily TV team makes their final predictions beginning with the first of three Creative Arts ceremonies.
After a year of uncertainty on all fronts, the 2021 Emmy Awards are finally upon us. This weekend the Television Academy will hold their three-part Creative Arts ceremony announcing their winners in a variety of below-the-line categories. As a health and safety protocol, the Television Academy has opted to split the Creative Arts ceremony into three events to ensure the number of people in the room stays at a minimum.
This year, the Awards Daily TV team continues their long-standing tradition of predicting every single Emmy race from the beginning of the Creative Arts all the way through the Primetime ceremony. First, we cement our predictions for the first of three Creative Arts ceremonies. On Saturday, September 11th, at 5pm PST the Television Academy will announce their winners in a variety of narrative craft categories including casting, costume design, hairstyling, and cinematography.
Will WandaVision and The Mandalorian help Disney+ get an early start to becoming the most awarded network of the year? Can the final season of Pose win its first craft awards? Will costume dramas Bridgerton and The Crown split the vote? Can The Underground Railroad pull off a couple of surprise craft wins?
Make sure to check back in for the rest of our Emmy predictions throughout the week and let us know what you are predicting in the comments below!
