"HBO&amp;#039;s Game of Thrones was the biggest winner at the 2012 Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The TV awards ceremony - which recognises outstanding arts, craft and technical work - took place last night (September 15) and saw the fantasy series pick up six titles including &amp;#039;Best Visual Effects&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;Best Art Direction&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Best Make Up&amp;#039;. British designer Michele Clapton also accepted an award for &amp;#039;Best Costumes&amp;#039;.  BBC nature show Frozen Planet won in four categories, including &amp;#039;Outstanding Non-fiction Series&amp;#039;, and Saturday Night Live also earned four Emmys, including one for host Jimmy Fallon. The variety show has now won a total of 36 Emmys, leaving it only one away from Frasier&amp;#039;s all-time record of 37 wins for a series. Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates was honoured for her guest appearance in sitcom Two and a Half Men. She impersonated Charlie Sheen - who was fired from the show in 2011 - playing the ghost of his character Charlie Harper. However, she was unable to collect her award in person on the night after recently undergoing a double mastectomy. The first major upset of the evening came when Jeremy Davies won &amp;#039;Best Guest Actor in a Drama&amp;#039; for his role in Justified. Having beaten the likes of Jason Ritter and Michael J Fox to the accolade, he asked reporters backstage: &amp;quot;Is this is actually happening and is it officially too late for a recount?&amp;quot;   Mad Men, which was nominated for two awards including &amp;#039;Best Guest Actor&amp;#039;, also failed to win in the &amp;#039;Best Guest Actress&amp;#039; category. The title was instead awarded to Martha Plimpton for her recurring role in The Good Wife. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards preceded the Primetime Emmys, which are due to take place on September 23. Wins for Homeland (&amp;#039;Outstanding Casting in a Drama Series&amp;#039;) and Game of Thrones indicate that acting prizes may be in store for lead characters at next week&amp;#039;s Primetime ceremony.
