Creative Arts Emmys 2025 Night One: ‘Studio,’ Julianne Nicholson Among Winners

Here are your 2025 Creative Arts Emmy winners for Night One of Two. Highlights include Julianne Nicholson winning Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Hacks, The Pitt taking Casting for a Drama Series, and Merrit Wever winning Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Severance. It’s a pretty heavy Severance and The Studio night. Sometimes that translates into wins at the Primetime show. Sometimes it doesn’t.

I wouldn’t bet against them though.
