The 2014 Creative Arts Emmys are set to air Sunday, August 24th at 8:00 on FX Movie Channel, the night before the main ceremony airs on NBC. Listed below are select categories that were handed out during tonight’s ceremony. Every winner from tonight can be found here.

What do you think about the Creative Arts winners? Do you think True Detective could be surging enough to challenge Breaking Bad for Outstanding Drama Series? Could Fargo be weaker than anticipated, even though it’s still the favorite to win Outstanding Miniseries?

The post 2014 Creative Arts Emmy Winners Announced appeared first on TVHackr.

As such, TVHackr has taken it upon ourselves to put together our 2014 Emmy Dream Ballot, a collection of what we deem to be the best television aired in the Primetime Emmy eligibility window of June 1, 2013 – May 31, 2014. Each selection is based on the recently released Emmy ballots, with six nominees per series and acting category and five per writing category. A (potential) seventh nominee is indicated in series categories due to the implementation of the 2% rule, while the focus of this article are the two series categories, 12 acting categories, and two writing categories. A show’s absence, whether it be your personal favorite or a perennial awards contender, isn’t necessarily indicative of my opinion on its quality; the more television that premieres, the more one has to make choices about what to watch and what to leave behind, so certain bigger shows might just be victims of us not being able to watch everything.
