The 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards kicked off its first night on September 7, 2024, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California. This two-night event celebrates the often-overlooked talent behind the scenes of television.
It’s shining a spotlight on achievements in areas such as technical direction, sound editing, and more. It’s where reality hosts, game show hosts, and guest actors from scripted TV shows receive their well-deserved recognition.
Red Carpet Glamour At The Creative Arts Emmy Awards

The red carpet at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards was nothing short of spectacular, with Maya Rudolph leading the charge in a stylish ensemble. The actress didn’t just make headlines for her fashion; she also took home the award for “Outstanding Character Voiceover Performance” for her role in ‘Big Mouth‘. It was a big night for Rudolph, and let’s be honest, we all knew she’d crush it.
Nikki Glaser also brought her A-game to the red carpet, showing up in a chic outfit alongside EJ Glaser. Ariana DeBose, meanwhile, stunned in a look that turned heads, attending the event with Morgan Marcell.
The night wasn’t just about the glitz and glam, though. Behind the red carpet, Pat Sajak won “Outstanding Host for a Game Show” for his final season of ‘Wheel of Fortune‘, and Angela Bassett secured “Outstanding Narrator” for ‘National Geographic’s Queens‘.
