Game of Thrones Wins big at 2016 Creative Arts Emmys

The 2016 Creative Arts Emmys were awarded. The ceremony is devoted to honoring the below-the-line artists who are such a big part of making this such a hugely ambitious, and creatively exciting, time to be a television fan. For the first time in history, the ceremony was split into two nights. Unsurprisingly, HBO's Game of Thrones lead all shows with 9 wins, followed closely by FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story with 4 wins. The Primetime Emmys will be held this Sunday, September 18, at 8pm EST on ABC. Your host will be Jimmy Kimmel.
