In April 2022, the Academy of Television Arts & 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.[8] The first night of awards focused on unscripted, variety, and animated programming, while the second night focused on scripted programs.[9] 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.[10][11] Additionally, the ceremonies were followed by the Governors Galas for the first time since before the pandemic.[10] The two nights were edited into a single broadcast shown on FXX on September 10 and made available later on Hulu.[11]
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.[9] To comply with COVID-19 protocols, all production members and attendees were required to show a negative COVID-19 test before the event.[12]
Category and rule changes
Changes for the Creative Arts categories this year included:[13][14][15]
Comedy and drama series designations were no longer based on runtime; instead, producers decided where to submit programs, subject to Television Academy review.
The categories for Outstanding Interactive Program and Outstanding Innovation in Interactive Programming were eliminated. Interactive programs were eligible for submission in other categories.
^The outlets listed for each program are the U.S. broadcasters or streaming services identified in the nominations, which for some international productions are different than the broadcaster(s) that originally commissioned the program. Programs broadcast by HBO or HBO Max were listed under both services in the nominations list; only the original broadcaster is listed below.
Area awards are non-competitive; any nominee with at least 90% approval receives an Emmy. If no nominee receives 90% approval, the nominee with the highest approval receives an Emmy; for area awards in picture editing and sound mixing, there is an additional requirement that the highest-rated nominee must have at least 50% approval.[2]
Juried awards generally do not have nominations; instead, all entrants are screened before members of the appropriate peer group, and one, more than one, or no entry is awarded an Emmy based on the jury's vote.[2]
