The 2018 Creative Arts Emmy® Awards, honoring behind-the-camera crafts and specialty productions were held on Saturday, September 8, and Sunday, September 9. Here are the honorees of interest to the sci-fi/fantasy/horror audience, just for you:
All generations, all the time, on the 52nd anniversary of the original series’ premiere on NBC on September 8, 1966. Self-avowed trekkie Bill Nye introduced an excellent compilation video and a more excellent musical montage of all the series’ music, while celebrating cast and crew from all the shows, especially the Star Trek: Discovery” nominees waiting for their categories to be announced. The award was accepted by William Shatner and Sonequa Martin-Green. All we could have wanted was for her to get a word in, because Bill did all the talking.
“Game of Thrones” dominates almost completely, and where it does not, “the Handmaid’s Tale” does. Let’s see what happens next week during the big broadcast of the 70th Emmy® Awards on September 17.
A complete snub to Star Trek: Discovery: apparently, the Governor’s Award thing did not help its visibility, and Academy members didn’t subscribe to CBS Access any more than the rest of the viewing public. I felt that one very subtle hit was delivered by hair styling in the first episode of Discovery; when Commander Burnham was living on Vulcan and working in Starfleet, she sported a sophisticated, straightened, styled coiffure. After her conviction, it was buzz cut short and unstyled, taking away her agency in a way that contemporary African Americans understood instantly, and the rest of us had to sit and figure out if this was racist or not. Too subtle for Academy voters? Maybe.
