The Emmy Awards won’t take place until next month, but ahead of the official ceremony the Television Academy has announced the winners in the juried categories.
As The Hollywood Reporter notes, these categories encompass animation, costume, interactive programming, and motion design.
“Juried categories are decided by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry being awarded an Emmy,” says THR. “There are no nominees but a one-step evaluation and voting procedure with open discussions of each piece of work.”
“Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal “(David Krentz, storyboard artist) won the award for outstanding individual achievement in animation, while other animation awards went to “The Simpsons” (Nik Ranieri, lead character layout artist), and four for Netflix’s “Love, Death + Robots” (Robert Valley, production designer; Patricio Betteo, background artist; Dan Gill, stop motion animator; Laurent Nicolas, character designer).
