The Television Academy has unveiled the winners of the 77th Emmy Awards in its highly specialized juried categories, celebrating standout achievements in animation, costume, emerging media programming and motion design. These honors will be officially presented during the Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 6 and 7, with a condensed broadcast airing September 13 on FXX.
Unlike traditional Emmy races, juried categories skip the nominee stage entirely. Instead, panels of peer-group experts evaluate each entry in detail, debating their merits in open discussion before deciding whether the work deserves Emmy recognition.
Netflix’s “Arcane” secured two honors, with Bruno Couchinho recognized for background design on the episode “The Dirt Under Your Nails” and Faustine Dumontier honored for her color artistry in “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern.”
The streamer’s “Love, Death + Robots” also had a banner evening, sweeping four categories: character animation (Daryl Graham), character design (Robert Valley), production design (Gigi Cavenago) and storyboard (Edgar Martins).
In motion design, Prime Video’s “Octopus!” stood out for its intricate visuals and creative direction, winning for a team effort led by Minkyung Chung, Michaela Olsen, Hayley Morris, Julie Gratz, Anthony Galante and Sabrina Chaney.
The outstanding innovation in emerging media programming award will go to “White Rabbit,” created by Maciej Kuciara and Emily Yang for Shibuya Film.
Meanwhile, “Beyoncé Bowl” — produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and Parkwood Entertainment for Netflix — will take home the Emmy for outstanding costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming. The superstar herself shares design credit alongside Shiona Turini, with an extensive creative team bringing the vision to life.
Each night’s scheduled awards can be found here. The full list of winners are below.
The 77th Emmy Awards, hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, will broadcast live on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. The ceremony will also stream live and on-demand through select Paramount+ packages.
