Is Creative Emmys a indicator of wide support (sort of like PGA, DGA etc for Oscars)?

Game of Thrones took home 10 Creative Arts Emmys tonight
- Thread starter BringBackSonics
- Start date
"won a literal ton of Creative Arts Emmys (or at least 10) and that's all before the major categories next week,"
This isn't the "main" Emmys, those are next week, these are the Creative Arts Emmys, and they did deserve a lot of these.
Next weekend is the big Primetime Emmy show, so prepare for Game of Thrones to sweep once more. If we are lucky, Fleabag will sweep its category to take the pain away.

For the record, here are the Emmy's it won:
Sound Editing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (one Hour): Game Of Thrones
Special Visual Effects: Game Of Thrones, "The Bells"
Fantasy/sci-fi Costumes: Game Of Thrones, "The Bells"
Makeup For A Single-camera Series (non-prosthetic): Game Of Thrones, "The Long Night"
Stunt Coordination For A Drama Series, Limited Series Or Movie: Game Of Thrones
Main Title Design: Game Of Thrones
Music Composition For A Series (original Dramatic Score): Game Of Thrones
Casting For A Drama Series: Game Of Thrones
Single-camera Picture Editing For A Drama Series: Game Of Thrones, "The Long Night"
Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (one Hour): Game Of Thrones, "The Long Night"
Given that even the harshest critics of the series admit that basically the whole show was firing on all cylinders except in the catergory of writing, these awards seem pretty reasonable.

Creative arts Emmys. They are minor awards like sound editing / title
Design. Just wondering if this is like oscars where when a movie wins at many different things, if it shows they have wide support

Yeah, I'm predicting at least three big wins for Game of Thrones next weekend.

So it's not like the golden globes, where it's kind of just a popularity contest with a small group of writers (Hollywood foreign press)
They can be sometimes, but they also have their favorites and like to throw a surprise here and there. Game of Thrones has won multiple times and I don't see them refusing them for their final bow, even if it is as controversial as it was. They love having their multi-Emmy winners - look at Julia Louis-Dreyfus controlling the Best Actress in a Comedy Series for nearly a decade now. I'm actually hoping Phoebe Waller-Bridge might upset her this year, but we'll see. I wouldn't even be surprised if Peter Dinklage won again as they'll award him anything (he was great this season though so I don't care).
The Globes are actually really fun for television, they do their own thing and can have inspired wins sometimes. They stopped being the huge star-chasers they used to be in regards to movies (at least with their wins, around the time Ricky Gervas tore them a new one) and are more of a boring "predict the Oscars" nonsense these days. The Glenn Close win last year was fun though.
yeah, as much as I shit on the final season of GoT the acting and technical wizardry were all top notch and well deserved wins. If however it wins any emmys for writing that would be a big joke.
i could see everything clearly. it was exquisitely shot.
i watched on the hbo go stream in a dark room.
Why not? Even with some of the dodgy writing, I can appreciate the technical quality. The carnage dipicted in The Bells was something else.
I spent a lot of time giving serious consideration to all the intense criticism of the final season when it was airing. after all of that, I still think it fuckin owned and will absolutely watch it again sometime.
Not a single thing anyone has said has been able to convince me I tricked myself into liking what I watched. people who watch it in the future far removed from the discussion around it will probably more often than not see the cool shit I saw in it.

All completely deserved. If you take the writing out of the picture, everything else was of the utmost quality, particularly from a technical standpoint. The crew really deserves all the awards they get.
Looking at the awards it won, makes sense for it to clean up like this to me. The writing may have slouched by the end but the rest of the teams behind the camera did an incredible job still and deserve recognition for it. Be interesting to see what other awards it'll win.
Yeah as one of the "harshest critics" I have no problem with this, as long as Dickbutt and Dingleberry don't get anything. Back me up Bobby B!
these are all technical awards which i agree that GoT is deserving of it.
However, if GoT final season is going to win any awards regarding screenplay, then oh boy...what can i say......
it deserves everything except writing awards and acting awards for Jon and Cersei (who had no material to work with)
They're actually up for writing. The only award I'm staunchly opposed to the show winning. The acting categories are up for debate but I'm not bothered and certainly the technical side deserves its accolades.
