In 2015, the Emmys changed their voting procedures, ending the era of volunteer-based blue-ribbon panels of select Academy voters who had to watch all the submitted episodes before voting for the winners.

This year's Limited Series race underscores ongoing competition with Netflix, HBO, and FX contending for supremacy, having dominated the category for 13 consecutive years.

In all the years of the Emmys, only two shows about espionage have ever won the Outstanding Drama Series award: Mission: Impossible and Homeland.

In grouping these four shows together... I'm also struck by how they cover the breadth of what Emmy voters have valued in comedy series over the last several decades.

Catherine O'Hara's dramatic performance as a therapist who loathes her patient Joel offers an intriguing character dynamic and potential Emmy recognition in The Last of Us Season 2.

"The Pitt, Max's new hit medical drama, strives to channel the spirit of ER as it seeks Emmy recognition, with a star-studded production team behind it."

Ayo Edebiri expressed her excitement on the Emmys red carpet, revealing her admiration for Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman, "Oh my God! Literally, my legs are shaking..."

During the Emmys, the hosts Eugene and Dan Levy brought a gentle humor to the night, showing warmth as they navigated through live television missteps and self-deprecating jokes. Despite making fun of the show's goal to honor movie stars on streaming services, they maintained a light-hearted tone, not venturing into harsh critique. Eugene cleverly acknowledged the complexity of the comedy genre while discussing 'The Bear,' underscoring the show's unique position in the awards scene.

Paulson expressed, "It means audiences have accepted me playing different people and haven't just gotten attached to me as a character they love. It means they're responding to my work and not just to me as a person or a character." This reflects her unique ability to engage audiences through diverse roles, showcasing her talent beyond a single character.

Candice Bergen recalled how her character in Murphy Brown faced rebuke from Vice President Dan Quayle for being an unmarried mother, joking about today's political climate.

Selena Gomez showcased an apricot-hued manicure at the Emmys, perfectly matching her lips while featuring a dimensional look created by manicurist Tom Bachik.

"Jennifer Aniston's latest look at the 2024 Emmys showcased her evolving fashion sense, featuring an Oscar de la Renta strapless gown with intricate pearl embroidery."

Migizi Pensoneau expressed, "I just didn't feel like we were getting the attention that 'Reservation Dogs' warranted. The thing that we pulled off is a minor miracle." This captures his deep frustration over the show's lack of Emmy recognition despite critical acclaim.

This year's Creative Arts Emmys will showcase numerous interesting narratives, particularly in lesser-known categories that hold nearly half of the total Emmy awards presented.
