Creative Arts Emmy Predictions



Yes, it's Emmy time, and time for the television academy to hand out Emmys in 81 categories in the Creative Arts Primetime Emmys - or as Kathy Griffin famously called them, The Shmemmys. Awarding the best in fields most people don't care about including hairstyling, sound mixing and choreography, they can add to a program's overall Emmy total in addition to the main broadcast. (Variety show "Saturday Night Live" has been nominated 124 times in part to these below the belt categories)
