HBO wins 17 Creative Arts Emmys
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published August 21, 2006
LOS ANGELES - At first glance, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards looked like any other glitzy Hollywood awards show. The Shrine Auditorium swarmed with guests in tuxedos and fancy gowns. There was a parade of limousines and a mile-long red carpet flanked with photographers. But there was hardly a star in sight. Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmys honored television's behind-the-scenes workers - the makeup artists, casting directors, sound editors, set designers and others who bring TV shows to life. The celebrities get their party next Sunday, when the Primetime Emmy Awards are presented. Seventy-two prizes - the bulk of the television academy's annual primetime Emmy honors - were presented Saturday night. HBO was the leader with 17 awards, followed by ABC with 10 and NBC with eight. CBS, Fox and PBS received seven each. The most honored program was HBO's miniseries Elizabeth I, which received five awards. Comedy duo Penn & Teller, nominated for three Emmys for their Showtime series, hosted the 31/2-hour ceremony, which will be edited into a two-hour show scheduled to air Saturday on the E! cable channel.
