I've noticed several posts in the Emmys General Discussion topic that definitely should be in a dedicated thread to the second Emmy Awards to be held in 2024, so I'm opening a thread for them here.

@BetterButter posted about Dan and Eugene Levy being named as hosts in the other thread today. That should definitely be in a dedicated thread instead of getting lost in the other topic.

The Creative Arts Emmy Wins Worth Paying Attention To

This weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys will hand out more than half of the total number of Emmys, all in categories buried so deep on the ballot you’ve probably never seen anyone discussing them. But there are more than a few fascinating narratives to be found here. In order to prioritize your rooting interests, these are the 12 categories worth paying attention to.

I don't see many chances for upsets tonight. The probable winners are as close to locks as I can ever remember.

Comedy:  Series, Directing, Writing, Lead Actor and Supporting Actor are all going to The Bear. I do love the show, and it's Season 2 that is being honored tonight, which was brilliant. Season 3, which won't be eligible until next year's Emmys, was fine but nowhere near the caliber of S2. While I think S2 is a deserving winner, a little part of me would love to see Emmy voters do something completely unexpected and honor Reservation Dogs with the award for its final season. 

Comedy Lead Actress and Supporting Actress will go to Hacks, and deservedly so. While I think Ayo Adebiri is excellent, Jean Smart is beloved and and the writers gave her a great story arc in S3. She deserves the Emmy, IMO. While I do think that Hannah Einbinder will win for Supporting Actress, it's certainly not out of the question that Meryl Streep or Carol Burnett could get some love here. I hope that doesn't happen. 

Drama: Shōgun is winning everything but Supporting Actress, where Elizabeth Debicki is a lock for The Crown. IMO, Shōgun deserves all the awards. It was the best thing I've seen all year. Magnificent. Also, it has already won 14 awards from the Creative Arts Emmys held last weekend, making it the most awarded single season of any series in Emmys history, with many more nominations tonight.

Limited Series: I'm out of my league here because I only watched Lessons in Chemistry. From what I've been reading, Baby Reindeer will dominate the Limited Series categories. Although I haven't seen True Detective: Night Country, I'm rooting for Jodie Foster. I think she's the frontrunner. An interesting thing I heard on a Gold Derby podcast the other day is that Jodie has done no publicity events at all in the lead-up to the Emmys. OTOH, Brie Larson has been everywhere. Could make that race interesting. 

It'll be a great night if you watch and love that handful of series; a boring one if not.

Three big cast reunions are expected tonight, which I will spoiler tag for those who like to be surprised.

Happy Days, Saturday Night Live, The West Wing.

I just couldn't get into The Bear so yeah for me that makes things a bit boring lol. Baby Reindeer deserves the wins though. I still in general love watching the Awards show though.

I only made it two and a half episodes into The Bear before bailing, I hated some of the characters so much, whereas Reservation Dogs is some of the best television I've ever seen, so I'd love to see that upset, but fully expect The Bear to sweep.

I really did like The Bear, but if Rez Dogs somehow does win anything, I’m sure you’ll hear me from wherever you are.

The Levy guys are off to a pretty good start, I think, but the Only Murders trio continue to make a case for them to take a crack at it sometime down the line.

Cousin Richie/Ebon gets his second trophy that was likely a given after "Forks."  Billy Crudup winning was predicted by some, but I'm still a little surprised Shogun starts off with a loss.
