The creative Emmys are going on right now–all the below-the-line awards in dozens of categories, before the big headliner ones next weekend.
So far, here are the Guest Actor and Actress winners in a Drama and Comedy, respectively
Joe Morton, Scandal
Alison Janney, Masters of Sex
Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live
Uzo Aduba, Orange is the New Black
Will post more in a minute…
I’m glad Allison Janney won. She was great in Masters of Sex.
Other big winners, with 4 Emmys each:
Cosmos: Writing (Non-fiction), Music score, Sound editing, Title music
Game of Thrones: Art Direction, Costumes, Visual Effects, Makeup
Saturday Night Live: Fallon, Directing (Variety), Makeup, Hairstyling
Sherlock: His Last Vow: Cinematography, Music score, Editing, Sound editing
True Detective: Cinematography, Casting, Makeup, Title Design
Deadliest Catch, Orange is the New Black and The Square won 3 each.
Other notable wins:
Harry Shearer finally wins a voice-over Emmy for The Simpsons, the only one of the 6 principals who hadn’t yet. Bob’s Burgers wins Best Animated show.
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report win one each, though the latter wins the more prestigious Writing award.
You forgot to include the juried awards that were announced two weeks ago, but the Emmys themselves were handed out at the ceremony.
SNL has five (add Costumes (Variety))
The Simpsons has three (Character Voiceover, plus two for Individual Achievement in Animation)
Disney Mickey Mouse has three (Short-Format Animated Program, plus two for Individual Achievement in Animation)
Another “notable win”: Jane Lynch won Reality Show Host (for Hollywood Game Night).
The complete list is here
Yes, thanks for the add-ons.
The other major “name” recognized was Jeremy Irons for Outstanding Narrator for Game of Lions.
Did NGT accept the Emmys “Cosmos” won?
Uzo Aduba completely deserves an Emmy because she is brilliant as Crazy Eyes.
BUT, I wonder why she was nominated as a Guest actor; she was in almost every episode, which would seem a supporting role.
Sampiro, Uzo won for season 1, in which she was working as a guest.
Ah, thanks. (Netflix has changed everything.)
Bumping because the rest of the awards will be broadcast live tomorrow.
Not tomorrow. Monday, August 25, 2014.
You’re right, which is really…weird. Why Monday? I remember the Oscars used to be on Mondays ages ago, back when the industry thought that the ceremonies would impact the weekend box office. But they changed, and I’ve always remembered the Emmys (as well as other awards, like Globes & SAGs) on the weekend.
But if it’s Monday, that means the primetime show that most people watch won’t be live on the West Coast but tape delayed. Very strange.
It’s airing on Monday because Sunday is the MTV Video Music Awards. And most years it airs up to a month later, but NBC also broadcasts Sunday Night Football and doesn’t want to have to choose between the two.
Well, that’s a clear confirmation on where you stand in the pecking order! 
Well just read some of the winners. Looks like Breaking Bad got the Derek Jeter treatment by the academy.
Also, I do like Modern Family, but jesus christ, hasn’t it won the bulk of the comedy awards for the last 5 years or so? Are there really no other comedies that can compete?
Surprised they didn’t give it to Matthew Maconnughy just because they could have made history
I find it generally weird that the oscars are always hyper focused on a small handful of darlings and the awards are just spread across them.
Does Jim Parsons really deserve a win for his role on BBT? Really?
Glad Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman both won for Sherlock.
Are you asking because you don’t like his acting or you don’t like his character? Remember, sometimes (not always) when you don’t like a character that means the actor is doing a good job.
Very funny that the category had Freeman, Hanks and four guys from The Normal Heart. I’m sure the producers thought they had a lock on it.
So… the folks at Modern Family MUST have compromising pictures of the Emmy Academy, right? This season was abysmal (I stopped watching midseason) but still won everything.
Yeah I watch Modern Family but it hasn’t really been a stand out to me. Really surprised it won anything. I think *Veep *is great and should have won more. Tony Hale should win all the prizes forever.
How about Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston?? LOL!!!
Very surprised that Orange Is The New Black both went in to the comedy awards, and also didn’t win more . I like the show myself, but don’t find it too crazy award-winning, but I thought the voters would.
I’ve never even seen that Allison Janney show, Mom!
Kind of surprised with Anna Gunn winning best actress. I don’t really watch the other shows though.
I was very pleased to see Louie CK win for writing, with the episode about the “fat lady” as his submission.
