While the official Primetime Emmy Awards telecast isn’t airing until September 19, the TV Academy held Night 1 of its Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 11, and Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany’s superhero saga WandaVision held the Marvel torch and came out of the evening with two trophies.
Not exactly the kind of thing that reality-based shows like Ted Lasso and Hacks could top easily, and a category that more superhero shows could take over in the future.
That’s not a bad start at all for a limited series litmus test that was far different from the CGI action bonanza that Marvel fans were used to.
One of those awards was for Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program (Half-Hour), and that’s totally understandable, since its changing sets and TV eras made for some wild sets and design choices.
