Apple Nabs Five Creative Arts Emmy Awards
06 SEPTEMBER 2022 - Awards don’t come in seasons anymore. They come in waves. And the next wave is upon us. Congratulations this week to “Schmigadoon!” and “Severance,” and a tactful silence for our friends in Richmond.
The Creative Arts Emmys were held over the weekend, and Apple Insider says Apple snagged five. I mentioned a couple of winners, though the piece says four Apple TV+ titles shared in the five awards. And the awards went to:
“Severance” picked up two - one for Outstanding Main Title Design, and the other for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series
“Schmigadoon!” grabbed the award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the first-episode song “Corn Puddin’”
“Home Before Dark” won the award for Outstanding Motion Design
“Carpool Karaoke: The Series” picked up the award for Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night, “Ted Lasso” - nominated for 11 Creative Arts Emmys went home with none. Plenty of time, though. This awards wave is nowhere near cresting. Next up - the Primetime Emmy Awards. Apple is up for 52 of those, with 20 nominations for “Ted Lasso” alone. Those will be handed out next Monday 12 September.
