The 2025 Emmys season is coming to a close, and to kick off the grand finale to months’ worth of FYC events and campaigning to recognize the year’s best in television art is the 2025 Creative Arts Emmys. The full winners list for Night One is listed below. That’s right: It’s a two-night affair, taking place September 6 and 7 at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theater.
The best craftspeople and below-the-line artisans in the industry will be honored in categories spanning music and casting (both categories for which IndieWire has held “Pass the Remote” FYC panels this year) as well as stunts and guest actors. If there’s a theme that defines each night it’s that Night 1 is about scripted TV and Night 2 recognizes unscripted. IndieWire Honors host Robby Hoffman will be among the starry presenters for the event, along with Jamie Lee Curtis, Noah Wyle, Anika Noni Rose, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Marlee Matlin, and more.
