The Creative Arts Emmy Awards by Sidney Wolinsky Kevin Casey - ER On August 26th, hundreds of technical craftspersons, outfitted in formal gowns and tuxedos, left their cars and SUVs and headed for the open bars on the patio of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium to await the start of the Creative Arts Emmys. Hosted by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the awards honor creative technical achievements in television over the preceding year. Among those to be honored were members of our Guild working in post-production sound mixing, sound editing, picture editing and technical direction. As the attendees settled into their seats, the producers announced that with awards being handed out in 53 categories, the ceremony would be a long one. Winners were cautioned to keep their acceptance speeches short. The proceedings were broadcast live on the Internet at iCAST.com, and were taped for later broadcast in a one-hour format on HBO Plus on September 7 and 9. The many celebrity presenters included Tom Sellick, Debbie Reynolds, and Henry Winkler. In the end, the ceremonies lasted three-and-a-half hours. After the awards, the winners, nominees, and guests adjourned to The Governor’s Ball to eat. Few participants remained in their seats after the meal, taking the opportunity to visit with their colleagues at other tables in the immense hall. A lively band was playing and the dance floor was crowded.
