Ceremony information.
In April 2022, the Academy of Television Arts &amp; Sciences announced that the 74th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards would be held on September 3 and 4, leading into the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 12. Nominations for the awards were announced on July 12. The first night of awards focused on unscripted, variety, and animated programming, while the second night focused on scripted programs. For the first time since 2019, the ceremonies were held at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles; the ceremonies had been held elsewhere the previous two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the ceremonies were followed by the Governors Galas for the first time since before the pandemic. The two nights were edited into a single broadcast shown on FXX on September 10 and made available later on Hulu.
The event used a mix of tables and theater seating; producer Bob Bain explained that the tables aimed to create a "nightclub environment". Additionally, satellite stages were positioned to shorten walks for some winners. To keep each ceremony around two and a half hours, the producers opted to go hostless, instead using short monologues and comedy bits from presenters. To comply with COVID-19 protocols, all production members and attendees were required to show a negative COVID-19 test before the event.
Category and rule changes.
Changes for the Creative Arts categories this year included:
In addition, several categories were moved between the main and Creative Arts broadcasts. Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) were moved to the Creative Arts ceremonies, while Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special replaced Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in the main broadcast.
