Creative Arts Emmys 2017: The Complete Winners List

TV's second and third biggest nights just took place: the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. They're so big that, since 2015, they're split into two nights over one weekend to distribute the all the trophies.
This is where the below-the-line categories are given out and could clue us in to which shows might do well on the main ceremony. Saturday Night Live and Westworld, each of which has 22 overall odds, led the Creative Arts field with 16 and 15 nods, respectively, and both walked away with five trophies each, as did Stranger Things.
This is also where the guest awards are announced too. Did Alexis Bledel (The Handmaid's Tale) become the first Gilmore Girl to win an Emmy? Did Carrie Fisher (Catastrophe) defy the posthumous victory odds? Did Hugh Laurie (Veep) shed his perennial bridesmaid status?
Emmys: Everything You Need to Know
An edited TV presentation of the Creative Arts ceremonies will air Saturday, Sept. 16 at 8/7c on FXX, the day before the big show.

Seethe full list of winners below.
