Creative Arts Emmy Awards Night 1: ‘Saturday Night Live’ and ‘Jim Henson Idea Man’ Dominate, Angela Bassett Gets Emotional

Saturday Night Live,” was the big winner on the first night of the Creative Arts Emmys, earning six Emmys, followed by Ron Howard’s “Jim Henson Idea Man,” “The Oscars” and the animated series “Blue Eye Samurai,” which collected four trophies apiece.

The Television Academy handed out Creative Arts Emmys on Saturday in nonfiction and nonscripted programming at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. On Sunday, the two-part Creative Arts Emmy ceremony will focus on scripted content categories.

More from Variety

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” won awards for directing, technical direction, production design, lighting design, hairstyling and makeup. The TV institution, which is poised to mark its 50th anniversary next year, has now earned 90 Emmys over its long run.

Two stalwarts of the genre won big in the game show categories: “Jeopardy” prevailed for game show while the now-retired “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak prevailed for game show host. It was his first win since 1998 and comes two days before Ryan Seacrest takes the reins of the word puzzle show alongside Vanna White.

“Idea Man” collected the award for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special, as well as trophies for music composition, picture editing and sound editing. An upset came when Alan Cumming snapped RuPaul Charles’ eight-year win streak in the reality series host category with his win for Peacock’s “The Traitors.”

In animation, Netflix’s “Blue Eye Samurai” triumphed over “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Scavenger Reign” and “X-Men ‘97” to take home four awards including outstanding animated program. Co-creator Amber Noizumi noted the significance of the win: “You cannot have tomorrow’s franchises if you don’t bet on originals today.”

Maya Rudolph is this year’s top Emmy nominee with a total of four bids and she got off to a good start. She won in the only one of her four categories that was presented Saturday: for her voice work on the Netflix animated series “Big Mouth.”

Speaking backstage after her win, Rudolph addressed the donkey in the room: Will she play Kamala Harris in the upcoming season of “SNL?”

“I feel like I am connected somehow to an incredible time in this country and an excitement that I haven’t felt in a long time.” Rudolph said. “I’m very honored to be associated with that. I just love ‘SNL’ more than anything in the world. It’s my favorite place to work.”

“Jim Henson: Idea Man” composer David Fleming thanked famed movie tunesmith Hans Zimmer during his acceptance speech. Speaking backstage, Fleming elaborated on their collaboration. “I’m so lucky to have worked on his scores and as co-composers, he’s an incredible resource, just the way he thinks about composing as part of the filmmaking process.” Fleming went on to talk about his approach to scoring the Henson doc; director Ron Howard wanted all the department heads in their work to “be reflecting the spirit [of Jim].”

Music director Rickey Minor landed his third Emmy for his work on the annual Academy Awards telecast. He reflected on how they delviered Ryan Gosling’s much-talked about “I’m Just Ken” musical number from “Barbie” during the live event. “It was a big performance, and it took a lot. If you give people an opportunity, they can rise up and they can make it happen,” Minor said. “You just have to trust your people, and I think that’s what we did.”

ABC’s “The Oscars” also won for production design, directing and variety special.

HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” won for writing for a variety series. Accepting the award on behalf of the team, writer Joanna Rothkopf said the show had tackled subjects such as the opioid crisis and challenges in the management of hospice care. She called the weekly series “the saddest comedy to win an Emmy since ‘The Bear.’”

Angela Bassett was shocked to hear her name announced for outstanding narration. Bassett took home the Emmy for her work on the National Geographic series “Queens.” Speaking backstage about what appealed to her about saying yes to the series, Bassett said she was inspired by the “story of females in the Wild Kingdom” and the show was “led by all-female production teams.” When she heard the series would “center on the matriarchs in wildlife,” it was a quick yes.

CBS’ “Dick Van Dyke’s 98 Years of Magic” won for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded). Van Dyke was on hand for the awards, joking “I’m looking for work.” Asked what he hoped to be remembered for, the beloved actor who made history as the oldest-ever Emmy nominee, Van Dyke replied, “Hopefully making people laugh for 75 years. I can’t believe that I’m still here and performing.”

Other highlights included two-time Oscar winner Gary A. Rizzo (“Dunkirk,” “Inception”) who took home his first Emmy as part of the sound mixing team on “The Beach Boys.” He claimed the award with John Rampsey, Sabi Tukok and Dennis Hamlin.  Programs that won three Emmys apiece included “Billy Joel: The 100th- Live at Madison Square Garden” and “Welcome to Wrexham,” which took home outstanding unstructured reality program.
