The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the winners for the 62nd annual Emmy Awards (for excellence in television) last night. The winners in the creative arts categories were announced a week earlier, but we combine them all into this one article.
We’ve dropped “Outstanding,” which precedes the names of all the awards (rather than “best”) in this list. Genre winners (by show) include:
The Big Bang Theory:
* Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper)
FlashForward:
* Stunt Coordination (Danny Weselis for “No More Good Days”)
Lost:
* Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series (Stephen Semel, Mark J. Goldman, Christopher Nelson, and Henk Van Eeghan for “The End”)
Prep & Landing:
* Animated Program
* Individual Achievement in Animation: Andy Harkness, Art Director (juried award)
* Individual Achievement in Animation: William M. George III, Background Key Design (juried award)
* Individual Achievement in Animation: Joe Mateo, Storyboard Artist (juried award)
Robot Chicken:
* Short-format Animated Program (“Full-Assed Christmas Special”)
Star Wars: Uncut:
* Creative Achievement in Interactive Media—Fiction
24:
* Music Composition for a Series, Original Dramatic Score (Sean P. Callery for “3:00PM-4:00PM“)
* Sound Editing for a Series (“4:00AM-5:00AM“)
The Academy didn’t exactly snub sf/f/h programming, but with only eight awards out of the 47 nominations (all but one of them in the creative arts categories), we’re still feeling a bit unloved. For the complete list of genre nominees, see this article. The complete lists of winners are available as two pdf files from this page.
