On the evenings of September 11th and 12th, the Creative Arts Emmys 2021 awarded. The big ones Primetime Emmy Awards will only be awarded on Sunday, September 19th. Traditionally, on the weekend before the main ceremony, the many small, often technical categories that are not interesting enough for broadcast transmission are dealt with. This is how it all went with the small cable transmitter FXX. There are also a few acting prizes included.

This includes the Emmys for the best guest actors. Claire Foy, who received her second Emmy as Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix series The Crown, caused a small sensation. She had a short flashback scene in the most recent season, for which she has now been recognized. Lovecraft Country fans are also happy to receive the award from Courtney B. Vance. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios won their first ever Emmys with the WandaVision series.

The big winner of the evening, however, was The Queen’s Gambit with a total of nine trophies, while The Mandalorian was actually drawn into the field with the most nominations, namely 19. In the end, seven of them could be gold-plated, for example there was a prize for the best music, which the composer Ludwig Göransson had earned. The Crown received four awards, Ted Lasso and WandaVision three each.
