The Creative Arts Emmys saw a remarkable performance by the FX series Shogun, which won 14 awards, including best guest actor in a drama for Néstor Carbonell. This near-sweep set a high bar at day two of the event, held Sunday night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Among others recognized was Jamie Lee Curtis, who bagged her first Emmy for her role in The Bear, describing her recent career path as "the thrill of my creative life."

In an emotionally charged moment, Carbonell thanked the crew, exclaiming, "You're all here! You're all nominated!" Significantly, Shogun's dominance makes it a frontrunner for bigger awards, including best drama and best actor for Hiroyuki Sanada, to be announced at the Primetime Emmys on September 15. Meanwhile, Michaela Coel won best guest actress in a comedy series for her role in Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The songwriting duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul entered the prestigious EGOT club, winning an Emmy for a song they co-wrote for Only Murders in the Building. Additional award highlights from day one of the ceremony on Saturday include Maya Rudolph and Angela Bassett, recognized for their work in voiceover and documentary narration, respectively.
