The first night of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards sees a win for the Star Wars franchise. In the category for Outstanding Stunt Performance, Lateef Crowder, Paul Darnell, JJ Dashnaw, and Ryan Ryusaki took home an award for their work on “Chapter 24: The Return.” The Mandalorian season 3 was also nominated for eight other awards Saturday.
The Mandalorian was up against some fierce competition with FBI: Most Wanted and Stranger Things season 4 for this award. This actaully marks the 15th Emmy for the show through three seasons.
The other eight categories that the show was up for were:
- Outstanding Cinematography for Half-Hour Series (Atlanta)
- Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes (House of the Dragon)
- Outstanding Period and/or Character Hairstyling (Queen Charlotte)
- Outstanding Period and/or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic) (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel)
- Outstanding Sound Editing for Half-Hour Series (The Bear)
- Outstanding Sound Mixing for Half-Hour Series (The Bear)
- Outstanding Visual Effects (The Last of Us won)
- Outstanding Stunt Coordination (The Boys)
The televised Emmy Awards will be held on Monday, January 15. The Mandalorian will not be present there, as the nine categories it was nominated in have already been called. But Star Wars will still have a presence through Andor, which is up for multiple awards including Best Drama Series (likely to go to Succession, though), and Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is up for Best Limited or Anthology Series.
