Governors Award
[edit]During the second night of the Creative Arts Emmys, the Governors Award was presented to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in recognition of CPB's championing "storytelling that informs, educates, and unites us and ensures public media remains a vital space where diverse voices are heard and communities are served".[6] The award was accepted by CPB president and CEO Patricia Harrison on the organization's behalf.[7] From its founding in 1967, CPB supported public broadcasters, including PBS and NPR, but following the removal of federal funding with the Rescissions Act of 2025, CPB shut down in January 2026.[8]

Ceremony order and presenters
[edit]Ceremony information
[edit]The 77th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards were executive produced by Bob Bain and directed by Richard Preuss.[1] Nominations for the awards were unveiled on July 15. The winners were announced during two separate ceremonies at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles held over two consecutive nights on September 6 and 7.[11] The first night of awards focused on comedy, drama, and limited series programs, while the second night focused on variety, non-fiction, and reality programming. The two nights were edited into a single broadcast shown on FXX on September 13 and made available later on Hulu.[12]
Category and rule changes
[edit]On January 8, 2025, the Television Academy announced rule changes that affected the directing and guest performer awards. Starting with the 77th ceremony, individuals or directing teams are permitted to submit multiple episodes for consideration in the directing categories, provided that the episodes are from different programs. In previous years, directors or directing teams could only submit one entry per category.[13] Additionally, any performer who had previously won or been nominated in the lead or supporting acting categories would be ineligible to submit a performance of the same character in the same series for consideration in the guest performance categories in subsequent years.[14]
In addition, several categories were moved between the main and Creative Arts broadcasts. Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special was moved to the Creative Arts Award ceremony while Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Special (Live) were presented on the main broadcast.[15][16]
Notes
[edit]- ↑ The outlets listed for each program are the U.S. broadcasters or streaming services identified in the nominations, which for some international productions are different than the broadcaster(s) that originally commissioned the program. Programs broadcast by HBO or HBO Max were listed under both services in the nominations list; only the original broadcaster is listed below.

- Area awards are non-competitive; any nominee with at least 90% approval receives an Emmy. If no nominee receives 90% approval, the nominee with the highest approval receives an Emmy; for area awards in picture editing and sound mixing, there is an additional requirement that the highest-rated nominee must have at least 50% approval.[2]
- Juried awards generally do not have nominations; instead, all entrants are screened before members of the appropriate peer group, and one, more than one, or no entry is awarded an Emmy based on the jury's vote.[2]
