65th Annual Emmy Award Winners: the sf/f/h nominees

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the winners for the 65th annual Emmy Awards (for excellence in television) tonight. The winners in the creative arts categories were announced a week earlier, but we combine them all into this one article. Once again, it wasn’t exactly a banner evening for sf/f/h programs: out of 69 nominees, we took home 11 awards, all but one in the creative arts categories.Technology_and_Engineering_Emmy_Award_for_Canon_2013_CP-2B
