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.
We’ve dropped “Outstanding,” which precedes the names of all the awards (rather than “best”) in this list. Genre winners (by show) include:
American Horror Story: Asylum:
Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie (James Cromwell as Dr. Arthur Arden)
Sound Editing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special (“Welcome to Briarcliff”)
The Big Bang Theory:
