HBO topped the list of winners at the 2011 Creative Arts Emmy Awards with 15 winged statuettes, followed by PBS with 10.
Leading the recipients of multiple awards was HBO's period drama "Boardwalk Empire," with seven Emmys. Set against a backdrop of crime and corruption in 1920s Atlantic City, New Jersey, the series earned a total of 18 Emmy nominations in this, its first season.
The ceremony was held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles. An edited version of the event will air as a special on Saturday, September 17, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), on ReelzChannel.
As with last year's Creative Arts Emmys, the show was guided by a series of presenting pairs made up of performers and show-runners or producers from more than a dozen television programs of today — and two classics, "Mitzi…Roaring in the '20s" and the "Elvis '68 Comeback Special."
In the order of their appearance, they were: Jon Cryer & Chuck Lorre ("Two and a Half Men"), Connie Britton & Jason Katims ("Friday Night Lights"), Bob Mackie & Mitzi Gaynor ("Mitzi...Roaring in the 20s"), Alison Brie & Dan Harmon ("Community"), Chris Colfer & Brad Falchuk ("Glee"), Paul Reubens & Josh Meyers ("The Pee-Wee Herman Show" on Broadway), Bertram van Munster & Phil Keoghan ("The Amazing Race"), Jon Benjamin & Adam Reed ("Archer"), Noah Wyle & Robert Rodat ("Falling Skies"), Jesse Spencer & David Shore ("House"), Walton Goggins & Graham Yost ("Justified"), Jeff Probst & Mark Burnett ("Survivor"), Priscilla Presley & Steve Binder ("Elvis '68 Comeback Special"), Gene Simmons & Nick Tweed-Simmons ("Gene Simmons Family Jewels"), Rebecca Romijn & Paul Scheer ("NTSF: SD: SUV"), Maya Rudolph & Emily Spivey ("Up All Night"), Kiernan Shipka & Matthew Weiner ("Mad Men") and Howie Mandel & Jason Raff ("America's Got Talent").
The majority of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which this evening honored excellence in more than 75 categories, are dedicated to key technical disciplines and behind-the-scenes crafts essential to television production — including art direction, cinematography, hairstyling, makeup, music, picture editing, sound editing and mixing, special visual effects, stunts and more.
Awards are also given for animation, commercials, nonfiction reality series and other programming, as well as four acting categories. Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series went to Loretta Devine for ABC's "Grey's Anatomy"; Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series went to Gwyneth Paltrow for FOX's "Glee"; Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series went to Paul McCrane for NBC's "Harry's Law"; and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series went to Justin Timberlake for NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
For the fourth year in a row, Jeff Probst, of the long-running CBS show "Survivor" was named outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program. Probst has won every time he has been nominated.
The Governors Award, which is given annually to individuals or organizations committed to important social causes, went to John Walsh, who is known internationally as a crime fighter, victims' advocate and the host of "America's Most Wanted" — the groundbreaking reality program that has helped law-enforcement to capture more than 1,150 dangerous fugitives and brought home more than 50 missing children since its debut in 1988.
Walsh never intended to follow this path, but it his has been his life since July 27, 1981 — the day his only child, Adam, was abducted from a mall near his home in Hollywood, Florida. Adam was found murdered two weeks later. Since then, Walsh has devoted his life to the capture of criminals such as the one who killed his child.
Outstanding Reality Program was presented to the Discovery series "Deadliest Catch."
Outstanding Children's Program went to HBO's "A Child's Garden of Poetry." Outstanding Children's Nonfiction, Reality or Reality-Competition Program was "Under the Influence: Kids of Alcoholics," an installment of Nickelodeon's "Nick News with Linda Ellerbee."
This marked the seventh Emmy — and fourth in a row — for "Nick News with Linda Ellerbee," which won last year for the episode titled "The Face of Courage: Kids Living with Cancer."
Comedy Central's "Futurama," set in the 31st century, was named Outstanding Animated Program. "Futurama" was also honored for Outstanding Voiceover Performance, which went to actor Maurice LaMarche.
The "Futurama" wins marked a comeback for the show. From 1999 to 2003, it aired on FOX, and earned three Primetime Emmys, including Outstanding Animated Program in 2002. Reruns aired on Cartoon Network through 2007, and in 2008, new episodes, produced by 20th Century Fox Television, began airing on Comedy Central.
Outstanding Short Form Animated Program went to ABC's "Disney Prep & Landing: Operation Secret Santa."

Leading the recipients of multiple awards was HBO's period drama "Boardwalk Empire," with seven Emmys. Set against a backdrop of crime and corruption in 1920s Atlantic City, New Jersey, the series earned a total of 18 Emmy nominations in this, its first season.
The ceremony was held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles. An edited version of the event will air as a special on Saturday, September 17, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), on ReelzChannel.
As with last year's Creative Arts Emmys, the show was guided by a series of presenting pairs made up of performers and show-runners or producers from more than a dozen television programs of today — and two classics, "Mitzi…Roaring in the '20s" and the "Elvis '68 Comeback Special."

Walsh never intended to follow this path, but it his has been his life since July 27, 1981 — the day his only child, Adam, was abducted from a mall near his home in Hollywood, Florida.
