Last year Boardwalk Empire walked away winning the most awards ever at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards with seven wins. This year last years most snubbed series at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards Game of Thrones came out on top this year with six wins. Of the other Outstanding Drama Series nominees Boardwalk Empire won three, Homeland won two, Downton Abbey won two, Breaking Bad and Mad Men went home empty handed. Going home empty handed at this part of the award show is not a bad sign. Boardwalk Empire only won the Outstanding Direction award last year, and lost the Drama series award to Mad Men, and come on who would not have voted for Martin Scorsese. The Emmy Awards always like to surprise.The Emmys did surprise in three of the four Guest Acting categories, specifically in the both drama categories. Martha Plimpton won for one of my favorite guest starring roles on The Good Wife; she had a small part this season, and that was why she was not one of the favorites. Although I should have seen this coming people do not often repeat wins in this category, this was her first Emmy win. Jeremy Davies from Justified upset favorites like Mark Margolis from Breaking Bad, and Michael J. Fox from The Good Wife, this was also Davies first Emmy. After 9 nominations and 0 wins at the Emmy Awards Kathy Bates finally triumphed playing ghost Charlie, a role I am not shocked Emmy voters ate up. Jimmy Fallon was the easiest to predict, his return hosting gig to SNL, was one of the best episodes of the year.
Of the Outstanding Comedy Series nominees Girls took home one win, Curb Your Enthusiasm took home one win, and Modern Family took home one win, 30 Rock, Veep, and The Big Bang Theory went home empty handed.
Upsets also happened in the Outstanding Animated Program where The Penguins of Madagascar beat The Simpsons and Futurama, and So You Think You Can Dance lost the choreography award to Smash.
